"given the way in which they have conducted themselves, however, that they are not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention"

Ding, ding, ding, ding! Give the man a prize! He gets it! I wish more people did. It may be the only thing he has right. Unlawful Combatants are NOT entitled to Geneva Convention protections as they engage in exactly the types of behavior the GC was created to protect us from. They may be summarily executed on the battlefield, just as being in the wrong uniform in WWII would have gotten them shot.

"They may be summarily executed on the battlefield..."

It has been many years ago, but I remember being taught at Knox and at Benning that a person shooting at you, without a uniform, was to be shot. Am I remembering correctly?

I’ve been saying this for years. What we should do is stop making it known that they have been captured. If they “disappear” then who would know?
