Your questions:

1.  WHY IS CAMP X-RAY IMPORTANT?

2.  THESE ARE al Qaeda and Taliban - THE BAD GUYS, WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS?  WHAT ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO US?

3.  WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT NOT HAVING "LEGAL COUNSEL"?

4.  THEY "HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED" WITH CRIMES.  SO WHAT?

5.  WHAT'S THE GENEVA CONVENTION?  WHY DOES IT MATTER HERE?

The Geneva Convention, or Geneva Accords, are basically "rules for war" which most of the industrialized world has agreed upon. These rules include how civilians and POWs must be treated. The United States has agreed to abide by these basic rules as they often regard human rights.
