I don't think it's a matter of caring, this administration is so focused on the "war on terror" they just don't see the bigger picture. If you're talking about the general population they happily accept whatever the media feeds them for the most part. They're more likely to vote for the next American Idol than the next President. Enemy Combatant vs POW, arghhh. What is a POW except someone you've captured that was willing to fight back? I guess it depends on your definition of "is", sorry that makes no sense but somehow I couldn't resist.
I could go on but it's hard to find someone who disagrees here.
