John Yoo quotes

	" Without territory, it does not even have the resources to provide detention facilities for prisoners, even if it were interested in holding captured POWs. "		John Yoo

	" While Taliban fighters had an initial claim to protection under the conventions, they lost POW status by failing to obey the standards of conduct for legal combatants: wearing uniforms, a responsible command structure, and obeying the laws of war. "		John Yoo

	" We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war. "		John Yoo

	" Under the Geneva Convention, for example, a POW is required only to provide name, rank, and serial number and cannot receive any benefits for cooperating. "		John Yoo

	" To be sure, Article 31 of the Fourth Convention prohibits any "physical or moral coercion" of civilians "to obtain information from them," and there is a clear prohibition of torture, physical abuse, and denial of medical care, food, and shelter. "		John Yoo

	" This means that the U.S. can pursue different interrogation policies in each location. In fact, Abu Ghraib highlights the benefits of Guantanamo. "		John Yoo

	" The reasons to deny Geneva status to terrorists extend beyond pure legal obligation. "		John Yoo

	" This is not to condone torture, which is still prohibited by the Torture Convention and federal criminal law. "		John Yoo

	" The primary enforcer of the laws of war has been reciprocal treatment: We obey the Geneva Conventions because our opponent does the same with American POWs. That is impossible with al Qaeda. "		John Yoo

	" The naval station's location means the military can base more personnel there and devote more resources to training and supervision. "		John Yoo

	" The Justices are currently considering a case, argued last month, which seeks to extend the writ of habeas corpus to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees at Guantanamo. "		John Yoo

	" The effort to blur the lines between Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib reflects a deep misunderstanding about the different legal regimes that apply to Iraq and the war against al Qaeda. "		John Yoo

	" That is because the conflict with al Qaeda is not governed by the Geneva Conventions, which applies only to international conflicts between states that have signed them. "		John Yoo

	" Punishing abuse in Iraq should not return the U.S. to Sept. 10, 2001, in the way it fights al Qaeda, while Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants remain at large and continue to plan attacks. "		John Yoo

	" President Bush and his commanders announced early in the conflict that the Conventions applied. "		John Yoo
