...weapons does not make them any less of a fighting force. Also, even though the U.S. has refused to classify the prisoners as POWs, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfield has stated that the detainees are being treated according to Geneva Convention standards. Reports say that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell has advocated their classification as prisoners of war. This proper classification will reduce international pressure on the U.S. By calling the Guantanamo detainees “unlawful combatants,” the U.S. lends more credence to the belief that the U.S. makes its own laws and does...

Days after Powell left for Afghanistan in early January, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld teamed up to try to shut down the mission of Powell's Middle East envoy General Anthony Zinni and cut off ties with Yasser Arafat. In a meeting attended by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Powell's deputy, Richard Armitage, the two hawks argued that...
