Bush Flip Flops on Gitmo

President Bush has changed his position about the status of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. He has now accepted the Supreme Court decision that the Geneva Conventions do apply. If you recall the Oval Office decided the Geneva Conventions were "quaint" and no longer applied. Bush held onto this fantasy as recently as last week when he lied in his press conference in response to a question about the Supreme Court decision.

Maybe the rule of law isn't dead after all. On life support, but not dead.
