What are you talking about? Gatti was simply saying that the Administration (and/or Congress) have apparently taken it as a given that the abused prisoners were subject to the Geneva Convention, or should have been treated in accordance with it, so bilmore's apparent suggestion that they say "the abuse was OK because they weren't subject to the Geneva Convention because they weren't wearing fixed distinctive signs recognizable at a distance" is moot.

Though, for purely partisan reasons, I'd love to see them try that.
