The “Geneva Convention (GC)” is a term thrown around a lot these days. Very few people actually know what is in this treaty. The GC was created and signed right after the wreckage of WWII (1949), principally to provide specific rules to safeguard combatants who are wounded, sick or prisoners of war (POW’s) after the terrible actions by some countries during that conflict.

A combatant is someone in the military service of a country that wears a uniform with a “fixed distinctive sign”, openly carries a weapon, “obeys the laws of war” and answers to a chain of command. American military forces diligently follow these rules. Terrorists that the American military is fighting in Afghanistan do not. Even under the Geneva Convention, spies, saboteurs, terrorists and criminals may be tried and punished (up to death).

POW’s have the right (among other things) not to be tortured, medical treatment, keeping personal effects (pictures, ID card, etc.), to be placed out of danger, food, water, clothing, religion, and not to work in industries that support the enemy’s war effort. POW’s have no rights to lawyers, counsel, observers (except the Red Cross) or family visits. POW’s are not part of the American criminal system.

Kind of like the way people make demands, and instead of saying, "This is my political bias," say "It's required by international law!"

Remember: A cop killed in the Spain terror bombings was dug out of his grave, his corpse burned, and his skull impaled on a pick-axe by Islamofascists. Murder is insufficient for Islamofascists.

For real? Do you have a link to that story?

What if the embarassing technique made one terrorist talk and saved one soldier from one bomb? And not even a fingernail pulled!

The title of this article echoes my sentiments to a "T".
