 Two former Justice Department attorneys who in January 2002 wrote memos advising that the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war did not apply to the war against Al Qaeda and the Taliban defend their  and the Bush administration's’s position in the L.A. Times.  Basically the argument is that the Geneva Conventions still make sense for hostilities between states or signatories, but that violators or terrorist groups don’t qualify.  Read for yourself.
