Yes, illegal. You may not legally execute spies, saboteurs or terrorists without a trial. Period. End of story.

Anyone who tries to tell you differently doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

Uh. Thanks for addressing a point that I didn't make.

I was alluding to the fact that combatants without uniforms or command structure are not covered by Geneva Conventions. What goes on after that is a different argument that you can have with someone else.

My point is that we have yet to publicly and clearly and repetitively differentiated between Geneva-covered combatants and terrorists up front.
