<Excerpt>
By January 25, 2002, according to a memo obtained by 'Newsweek,' it was
clear that President Bush had already decided that the Geneva Conventions
did not apply at all, either to the Taliban or al-Qaeda.
In the memo written to Bush, White House counsel Alberto Gonzales laid out
the argument that the Geneva Conventions were obsolete in the new paradigm.
"As you have said, the war against terrorism is a new kind of war," Gonzales
wrote to Bush and concluded in stark terms: "In my judgment, this new
paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of
enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions."
