If nothing else, Vito can be proud of bringing us together on an issue!

Good. Y'all compassionate liberals otta agree on something.

Another point I'd like to add: the notion that just any old body can be
grabbed any old where, and tortured... or held prisoner indefinitely...
is contrary to basic law. Vito's assertion that captives can be held at
whim and shot any time the captor likes, is barbaric.

But Doug, we're not talking about "just any old body" or "any old where".
We are talking about combatants captured out of uniform and without ID
trying to reimpose a system that shot women for learning to read. Nor is it
my assertion. International law says if one wants to be treated like a POW
or Protected Person one must behave like a soldier or a noncombatant. These
people did neither.
