"My guess--and that is what this is, a guess--is that if war is formally declared, we will have to abide by the Geneva Convention. This 'intelligence' war cannot afford to be hampered by the edicts/rules of the Geneva Convention. In other words, if you don't declare war, you take no prisoners either."

I understand your point. But listen carefully to what you are saying (unintended I'm sure).

You are saying that in order to keep a pact our government made with foreigners, they are justified in destroying the pact they made with US. How patriotic is that?

The short answer is, it's not, but then this isn't the first time that citizens are being given the bait-and-switch. Particularly, the switch.

Now I'll just go and crawl back into my hole and think about this for a while. Flame away.
