Don't toss any. This is the prelude to an important Public Debate.



We need to all be on the same page, regarding the actions of these terrorists, in battle and in terror campaigns.


Once they decide to play possum for offensive purposes, no prisoners may be safely taken in combat, it is really that simple.

You are 100% correct, in my opinion. I can't believe this press-scum can't see that--and I don't believe for an instant that he didn't know about the boobytrapped "bodies" and "woundeds" that had already been found. Nope, I think he thought he might get the Pulitzer for "exposing" military "atrocities"--even if he had to be a bit inventive.

Let's just take out the "LI," and the "ER," and award him this year's PUTZ award.

Exactly.

And as far as the other argument going on: As long as people fighting do not have uniforms it can no longer be assumed that non-uniformed people are non-combatants. It is the non-uniformed fighters that are responsible for the deaths of civilians, which is one of many reasons that they are not protected under the Geneva Conventions.
