Also on this day in history, George W. Bush announces in the State of the Union 2003 that Iraq has tried to obtain yellow cake uranium from Africa, known to be false at the time.
On this day in 2002, Bush announced that detainees in the "war on terror" would not be considered POWs - a clear violation of the Geneva Convention.
What country or flag are the terrorists fighting under?
None.
