Two Bears:

What you said was

"Most of the attacks against the Iraqi civilians, and Iraqi police,
   and U.S, military; are caused by foreign fighters from Syria,
   Jordan, and assorted terrorists.

   "How should they be categorized?"

& I said "As human beings, and as innocent until proven guilty. "

That means they are not "foreign fighters from Syria, Jordan, and assorted terrorists" just because someone says so. Even if it's GWB that says so. It must be proved. And when it is proved they should not be treated as these men were. They should be treated as human beings.

I am talking morality and decency rather than law. I'm sure that anything Hitler wanted was legal in Nazi Germany, but a lot of it was wrong.
