USA Now Has A Major Credibility Problem

Although the US has detained hundreds of foreigners at "Gitmo" without trial or charge in clear breach of the Geneva Convention and other long-standing international laws, the Bushies are now demanding that Iran hand over Al Quaeda suspects rather than try them in Iran.

Sure, the chances of these guys being fairly tried in Tehran are minimal, but at least they would get charged and tried, which is more than can be said for the Gitmo detainees.

That's the problem with trashing international treaties, enraging former allies, pre-emptively invading sovereign nations on false pretences and generally just lying through your teeth on a daily basis: you do tend to lose your credibility.
