The "prisoners" were left unattended for a period of time.

I have seen theses insurgents described as prisoners in several posts on several threads.

Please freepers, stop referring to these people as prisoners. They were not prisoners of war. They were wounded insurgents.

Please also stop citing the Geneva Convention. "Geneva Convention rules only apply to nonsignatory parties if they observe them themselves.

We are not bound by the GC in this conflict. Any rules of engagement we choose can be applied - for example, as the terrorists have been caught driving Red Cross ambulances to ferry troops and munitions, we can destroy them when we see fit. The same applies to Mosques, schools, hospitals. We do not have to respect truce or surrender as the terrorists have used the same to ambush our troops. Nor do we have to care for the wounded or dead as both have been misused by the terrorists.

The Geneva Conventions are not a suicide pact. At this point, the only laws that constrain us are our own."
