i saw olberman ranting last nite about the torture techniques...he was quick to point out that we violated the 1949 geneva convention laws....but what he didn’t bring up was that the taliban and al qaida do not recognize the geneva convention....so....fair game...have at it...torture away....

...the taliban and al qaida do not recognize the geneva convention...
It's actually the other way around. The Geneva Conventions do not recognize al Qaida and the Taliban.
It was the stupid decision of the Bush Administration to CHOOSE to treat them under the conventions that got us in this mess.
We would be acting completely within the Geneva Conventions to summarily execute al Qaida and Taliban.
