I don't believe the Geneva Convention applies here. We are fighting an insurrectionist uprising at the request of the legitimate Government of Iraq and the people we are killing are not in uniform. So why does the Geneva convention have any relevance here?

Text of email sent POTUS and VPOTUS..posted from another thread

Mr. President, Please exercise your "capital" to pardon the Marine in Fallujah who shot the Iraqi who he thought was faking death in the mosque in Fallujah. There are several mitigating circumstances including:
1. The pace of operations
2. The duration of operations
3. He was wounded in the face by enemy fire the previous day
4. IED's have been rigged to dead bodies
5. Surrender attempts have been used as decoys by terrorist fighters
6. The terrorists hands cannot be seen in the video
7. Our soldiers have to make split-second judgments, and they get it right 99.9% of the time
8. The terrorists murder women (Margaret Hassan) without compunction
9. Beheadings
10. The terrorists are fighting to the death. What should make these Marines think other wise of this terrorist?
11. You sent him over there to kill terrorists, that is what he is doing

Thank you for your support of our troops.
Please do not jump on the media bandwagon and condemn this loyal warrior.

I'm shamelessly posting this link trying to show correlations between then and now in regard to this soldier. It has become MY rallying cry in his defense.
