This is another bullsh*t article from the Washington Post. Under the Law of War, a foreigner, not in uniform, captured in the war zone, can be given a "drum head" trial and shot. General George Washington did exactly that to Major John Andre. (Andre asked the military honor of being shot, rather than hanged, but was refused.)

Just consider this a frontpage ad for John Kerry, manufactured by the Post. That way, this article makes sense.
