Yes of course.
Are you serious? I have to pose the question again, because your stance
makes absolutly no sense, and I get the felling you're not reading it
properly:
You want Iraqi insurgents to abide by the Geneva convention, while at the
same time you believe they should be afforded no protection by it?
They are not afforded any protection by it because they are illegal
combatants. That is under the Geneva convention.
But that concerns once they are in custody of course.
So, you're saying that even if these 'illegal combatants' did follow the
conventions, they're not protected by them, because they're "illegal"?
Thats what I don't get... how can you expect them to follow the conventions
if they can't be assured the US will act in the same way? It's a slippery
slope... and since insurgents are "illegal", and the US army is a fully
fledged military outfit, shouldn't the US lead by example in this? If they
don't, they're committing war crimes...
There should be no killing of disarmed wounded terrorists, even if they
are illegal combatants, that is a rule of the Geneva convention.
Yet we see US soldiers doing this very thing on broadcast news...
They are not protected by it, but the rule of war protect everyone, even
if hey don't abide by it themselves, which they should.
Ahhh, the "rules of war" are part of the first geneva convention... so this
statement makes no sense...
It is because they don't abide by the rules of war that they are illegal
combatants.
and this somehow justifies the US not following the conventions? No, the US
have an obligation to follow the conventions, regardless of whether the
enemy is following them... this *is* a war, and the US agreed to abide by
these rules. They are violating their own signatures by not doing so...
The incentive is that if they abided by it, they would be protected by it.
Isn't that obvious?
They should follow it, but being the nutters they are, they disregard
them... The US on the other hand know that there are rules to be adhered to
and signed on to do so, yet the situation seem to be "we know about these
rules, but they're not playing by them, so neither will we...".
That's a cop out... taking the moral high ground, and then stoopping to the
enemy's level is the *weasel* way of doing things... yes, the *weasel* way.
Bla bla bla, as usual.
Read the Geneva convention and get a clue.
I don't see anything in there saying that it's OK to disregard them when
engaging "illegal combatants"... what's up with that?

No, I am saying that the US is accountable to the law of engagement. And
that the insurgents never comply with them.
[snip blablabla]
(I will save you, well, me, on myself in fact, the repetitions)
First it is the FOURTH Geneva convention that is in effect now, the
Geneva convention always applies in combat even to these illegal
combatants who do not respect them, but once they are taken out, they
are not protected by it, that is their rights and privileges are not the
same, but they still HAVE to be treated humanely.
This is part of the Geneva convention, that even if they have NO
protection under it, they still have to have the minimum basic human
rights applied.
Indeed we see here, in a combat zone, that this DIDN'T happen that one
time, well, apparently a couple more times elsewhere not under the eyes
of a camera; THESE are violation of the military code.
The insurgents have no military code, they kill innocents civilians, but
that doesn't excuse these 2-3 individuals on the coalition side who do
have to abide by that code. If it is understandable that they would want
to do to them the same rules that the pieces of ***** terrorists abide
by, barbarism, it is not justifiable. They can't. They will be
investigated and court marshaled if found in violation.
The terrorists are still doing ten times worst (in term of the Geneva
convention) would be, are, cheered by these losers, they are not
punished, it is their modus operandi to violate the geneva convention.
Bottom line, even if they are not afforded any protection under the
Geneva convention, the geneva convention still mention that under these
circumstances they have to be treated humanely, with basic human needs.
This was indeed APPARENTLY (pending investigation) not the case. And the
two others reported as well. These guys were relieved of duty. These
couple of individuals (if found guilty) are indeed no better than EACH
and ALL of the local terrorists / foreign fighters, who never abide by
it and would never be punished by their peers.
Big difference.

Good answer... So why no investigation into the Pentagon, as to why
pictures of the bodies of Saddam's sons were released to the media? And
what about the *inhumane* (are you going to argue that sensory deprivation,
or a cell the size of a mattress is humane?) conditions at Guantanamo?
They're cut and dry violations of the conventions...
I guess what I'm trying to say is, that it's hypocritical of you to complain
about Iraqi insurgents not following the conventions, while defending the US
for their (completely public) violations of them.
Oh, and by the way, it's refreshing to be able to hear(read) you communicate
without refering to someones ***** in some way... Thank you

What you call sensory deprivation is them having their minimum

communication with each others or a lawyer, which is consistent with
article 5 of the convention given their status.

Who care what you ignorant ***** pretend to believe, You either know the

Either way, get a clue. Read the convention if you are sincere, and if
not, know that you can't fool anyone with your propaganda lies here. You
need to go elsewhere for that.

Nah, there is one approach, and the insurgent are NOT protected by the
geneva convention because they don't abide by it. They are lucky
bastards that the US does.
Yes there are 3 incidents under investigation, but it is not their M.O.,
unlike the Muslim, pieces of *****.
