Captured unlawful combatants are not entitled to POW status because such men are associated with groups that do not comply with even the most basic law of war requirements — such as the prohibition on targeting civilians. They do not enjoy special privileges under the Geneva Conventions, although customary international law provides that they must be treated humanely.

Actually, the traditional rules of war call for a quick execution for those who engage in the likes of terrorism, or in older terminology spies and saboteurs, pirates, etc.

I'm not sure direct causation can be proven, it is interesting to note that the more the West has shown itself willing to excuse terrorism, the more terrorism the West has faced.

While I am not going to make the truly traditional case which would involve reprisals for acts of terrorism, clearly the notion common on the Left that we should coddle those who actually engage in terrorism against us is absurd with even the most basic knowledge of history...

Criticism is the cheap way to suggest your own superiority, and Amnesty International is a group which exists to criticize. IOW, AI is simply a form of journalism like The New York Times. Consequently it should be no surprise that it is, like The New York Times, a left-wing organization.

Journalism criticizes governments and politicians for the things that they do - but journalism never has the authority and responsibility to actually take action, and be responsibility for results. Journalism has front men (so-called "moderate" politicians like Bill Clinton) for that role.

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate
