White House says all prisoners in US military custody entitled to protection under Geneva conventions.
And about bloody time too. I wonder if the prisoners will be allowed to sue the US government for imprisoning them without tirial for so long, but shouldn't think it is very likely. I would like to bet that this has nothing to do with human rights, and everything to do with officials worrying that it makes them (Bush, whose approval ratings are lower than they have ever been) look bad.
