Pelosi Statement on Providing Detainees Protections Under the Geneva Conventions
Washington, D.C. – House
“Today’s decision by the Department of Defense to reverse the mistaken interpretation of the Geneva Conventions that President Bush and his Administration clung to for so long is an acknowledgement at last of the primacy of the rule of law. This decision shows that at least some people within the Bush Administration understand the Supreme Court’s decision in Hamdan and are moving to conform policies and practices to it.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
