There should be a "death blow," only it should go in the opposite direction.

Foreign nationals who are caught in civilian clothes (not uniforms) and engaging in actions against American soldiers, are "illegal combatants" under the law of war. They are exactly like British Major John Andre, who was captured in New York in civilian clothes with documents indicating General Arnold's intended capitulation of the fort at West Point.

General George Washington gave Major Andre a trial by military tribunal and sentenced him to death. Washington offered to British General Clinton to exchange Andre for Arnold, who had fled to British lines. Clinton refused, and Andre was hanged by the neck until dead.

Bottom line: the US military has the power under the law of war and the US Constitution to try, convict and execute any citizens of Iran, Syria, Yemin, Saudi Arabia, etc., who are involved in the attacks on our soldiers in Iraq. And we SHOULD do this, to send a very clear message to all those nations about their terrorists leaking into Iraq. If they get to Iraq and get involved in the attacks, with the weapons, explosives, maps and orders, they should be SHOT.

I agree! But, you left out citizens of Iraq. And by the way, what the hell is our military leadership giving command leadership at the front lines any crap about aggressively interrorgating an Iraqi about info he has about a planned attack on our troops!

As far as I'm concerned, that piece of garbage should have been shot right after he finally gave up the info. F*%king Washington, DC is going down the tubes with all the PC s#%t!

Let's get it right. These are our enemies and you don't coddle them. You kill them!
