The "terrorists don't respect GC" argument is wearing thin..

1) This isnt really about whoever you're fighting against, it's about your country's respect and self-image. I've used the slippery-slope argument so often in the last few years I'm not bothered anymore.

1a) How the hell can you fight "terror"? It's a bleedin' tactic, not a country.

2) Is this really about "clarifying" the GC? There would not be this kind of fuss if this was over a legal term-switching. W wants to be able to do things he cant legally do/has just been found out doing.
