Darth disses Geneva and the bulk of what the U.S. stands for

wonderful... the vice president of the united states, a country that has always prided itself on its humanity, its respect for the rule of law, its impartial judicial system, and its respect for the inherent worth of human life, stands before the graduating class of the u.s. military academy in west point, new york, and implicitly tosses it all out the window...
"Capture one of these killers, and he'll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States," the Vice President said in the Saturday morning speech. "Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away."

so, what's the message here, dick...? they don't deserve the protections...? they shouldn't be offered the protections...? they should be treated as inhumanely as they treat us...? what, dick...? what's the take-away...?
