NONE.
A piece of feel good legislation that has no place in a war!
These photos taken by a drone flying over Afghanistan show a group of 190 suspected terrorists all in a tight group attending a terror type funeral.
Both CNN spokesmen said that rules of war in Afghanistan did permit us to take them out. I have heard differeing stories over the week and I have heard a lot about this photo. I suppose the rest of you have as well. I really don't want to take anything I hear from CNN seriously. So if any one out there has what they think is the defining moment on this story I sure would like to hear it.
Sorry. I strongly disagree with this statement as written. The Geneva Convention just doesn't deal with terrorism which is what Bush is dealing with.
The thing that bothers me the most about this is that I've always understood, to be covered by the Geneva Conventions, one had to be A) from a signatory country B) in uniform with recognizable insignia and rank C) abide by the recognized rules of war. These mutts violate all three provisos.
They should be shot as OBVIOUS spies. That is a time honored law of war. Forget all other considerations. Were they in a recognized uniform? Did they abide by the laws of war? The answer to both is no, therefore hang the bastards. All of the rest is BS.
Would someone with treaty or international law expertise explain to me how that is not the case?
