I wish everyone would stop using quoting the Geneva Convention , these guys ARE NOT COVERED BY IT. Have a look here.

http://www.genevaconventions.org/ Alpha Index to Geneva Convention

They are not prisoners of war as they belong to NO army, they belong to NO organized resistance group, they are NOT even considered guerrillas, at best they are spies and saboteurs, and can be treated any way the prior regime could
( IE:you can't have a death Penalty if the ousted/defeated government didn't have one)
I don't wanna hear this "We are better than them stuff"
During the Normandy invasion in WWII the Allied paratroopers took no prisoners,as they had no provisions for detaining them, they were shot and left behind.
Care to depict them as WAR CRIMINALS?
I don't give a rats a$$ what happens to these scum. The pictures should not have been published and give grave comfort to the enemy.
The POS journalist who ran with this should be shot for treason.
We need the president not to apologize but to say these scum are lucky we didn't summary execute them in the field !!
Give the guards a cookie.
Have you forgotten ???
/rant off

Good point about the WWII veterans - I have known veterans who told me the same thing.

People growing up fat and happy in the modern USA have no conception of how brutal life can be.
