From the Fourth Geneva Convention:


"Nationals of a State which is not bound by the Convention are not protected by it. Nationals of a neutral State who find themselves in the territory of a belligerent State, and nationals of a co-belligerent State, shall not be regarded as protected persons while the State of which they are nationals has normal diplomatic representation in the State in whose hands they are."


Are the mmember here ready to tell me that the "insurgents", "Terrorists", etc are acting in a manner that indicates THEY are bound by the Geneva Convention? If not, THEY have forfieted the rights that you seem to give them.

The problem with some people here is that they do not have an understanding of what they are talking about. If members of the US forces commit acts that are illegal under the UCMJ, they will be procequted: Where are the requests that the other side be held to international law, if you feel that they are justified in murdering civilians, taking hostages, and "violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;" ?

I have no problem in a discussuin of the possible war crimes being commited, but it seem sto me that it is bigotry of the worst sort to only talk about the isolated cases on one side, and ignore the massive number of crimes being committed by the other.
