if the alleged captive was from a country of origin that signed the Geneva Convention rules (doubtful), and was part of an organized militia (he wasn't) , then this shooting may have been wrong. Seeing how the terrorists have been faking death only to jump up and kill, booby trapping bodies, waving surrender flags then shooting ,and shooting from "houses of worship" (all against 'rules'), I think the alleged victim got what he had coming.Oddly enough the other alleged wounded terrorist managed to put up his hand(s) to surrender after the 1st got shot. My guess is he saw what happens if you don't make your intentions clear to surrender.
The Arab media is as good as the American media at manipulating the "street".

Do you happen to know what the Geneva Conventions say about the situation when one side does not stick to it whether the other side is obligated to still continue doin it?
