We certainly have no proof that they weren't, either! And in the absence of absolute proof, I'm going to tend to believe our guys instead of them. Most, if not all, were captured in combat. The Geneva Convention (to which Al Quaeda is not a signatory) protects uniformed combatants engaged in lawfully declared war. Those creeps in Gitmo are lucky to still be separating oxygen from the atmosphere... throughout the vast majority of military history, illegal combatants were killed out-of-hand. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
