So to that effect, where does the Geneva Convention start? If they're not members of a militia or organized resistance movement (which they clearly are even if they do lose points for not following one criteria of Geneva), what are they? Combatants? Civilians? If you dug hard enough through the GC (sorry...I'm getting sick of typing it out every time), I'm sure you could probably find some provision protecting them. The whole point of the GC is that once captured your enemies be treated humanely. You don't have to coddle them...just don't hook a car battery up to their nuts. I totally agree with you, Mike as far as what we're doing in contrast to what they're doing...but they didn't sign the GC and we're the ones trying to take the high road here. If we wanted to fight dirty, that wouldn't be too hard.
