What war?
This is at most a police action.
The Vietnam "conflict" was officially a police action which was in reality an un-declared war. We classified our captured enemy combatants as Prisoners of War, and allowed them all the protections provided for by the Geneva Convention.
The "War on Terror" is officially a war but is in reality an international police action against international criminals. Bush said so in his speech today.
Quote from the Bush transcript :
"...these are like international criminals, is what they act like. They kind of hide and order things up and hide again..."Even though we are told that we really are at war, our Prisoners of War are classified as "captured enemy combatants," and we are told publicly that they do not merit the protections of the Geneva Convention.
