I have no idea if it is true or not. I am quite familiar with PSYOP operations. They can be QUITE effective! Even if the "film" were true, and Afghanistan did sign the treaty; I believe (it had been quite a while), that since these guys are not official military members it wouldn't apply. Then again, even if everything applies, there are times when things are done that shouldn't be done. You have to be covert enough not to get caught though. Sometimes "questionable" actions are necessary, but for the sake of order, if they become public action must be taken.

Cordially,

P.S. I tend to agree with you though, I doubt seriously if these things actually happened.

P.S.#2 : I really could care l less about "war crimes". Only that the civilian authority over our military is not allowed to lapse. The Constitution is all that matters. :)

If I gather 100 mullahs and burn a corpse after desecrating it in oder to denigrate their religion I have committed a crime against humanity as defined by the UN unless the person was a legal combatant then i cant commit a war crime in the strict legalese of LOAC. War crimes or crimes against a religion can't be allowed, in an insurgency the people are the Strategic terrain and offenses against societal norms fall outside the band of behavior that even the tacit enemy supporters understand and you drive them further into the enemy camp.
