They should be treated as prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention. So should any other enemy combatant, even if he flew in on an American airliner. How do you determine if this person is an enemy combatant (which is not well defined by law) or just a lunatic acting alone? Actually, enemy, or legal, combatant is rather well defined, as are the protections given to them. Which is why, the Bush administration devised their new terminology, "unlawful combatant" to avoid those protections. John, as per usual, is playing fast and loose with his definitions. This last perpetrator does not meet *any* of the definitions of a "lawful combatant" under the Geneva Conventions. If he did, he would have protected status, and could not be held personally responsible for violations of civilian laws that are permissible under the laws of war. With whom are we at war? Was this individual a member of that group performing a mission in accordance with the group's objectives? You liberals need to get your heads out of the sand. His 'protected status' should be in accordance with the protections accorded prisoners of war. I think the guy should be allowed to complete his mission inside one of those bomb detonation chambers on wheels. Or forced to spend the night with nom de plume. Me, I'll just continue to spoof harry's ID here. |
