Where was the Geneva Convention for them???
There are no nor ever will be signatories to the Geneva Convention by terrorists.
The real lesson here has been realized by our armed forces that surrender or capture is not an option. The Pentagon ought to revise the Rules of Engagement for our personnel to protect them from after action persecution and prosecution.
The Geneva Convention was adopted in 1949 and has been violated continuosly since. A GC card in your pocket while on the battlefield is worthless.
