He is absolutely right about the Geneva Convention. My undergrad degrees were in History and Politcal Science. As an ROTC student who would be commissioned upon graduation we studied these laws with an eye towards the environment in the 1965 and after era. We were in Viet Nam and might just be captured so...

Terrorists are not covered by or accede to the Rule of Law. Under the geneva convention a POW must olny divulge NAME, RANK, and SERIAL NUMBER.

Since terrorist have neither and uniforms ore NRS, when they are captured on the field of battle they can be considered SPIES!

There need be no torture. They can be given three options when they are found to be spies.

Option 1 - Firing Squad

Option 2 - Hanging.

Option 3 - Tell us all you know or take your place in Line One or Two
