Wster bordering of terrorists is not covered by the Geneva Convention.

Terrorists are undeclared combatants, and are not the official troops of any nation.

There are no international agreements regarding their treatment.

Yep, irregular, unlawful combatants should not get much leeway.

Water bordering of terrorists is not covered by the Geneva Convention.

US special forces have done it in their training. Trump won't let the media get away with their over-hyped, liberal nonsense without getting called on it.

Excellent point, Doughty One.

[FredZarguna]

There are no international agreements regarding [terrorists] treatment.

Not quite correct.

The Protocol II addendum to the Geneva Convention does cover them. However, the US has never ratified that additional protocol, therefore, it does not apply to us.

Their families, however, are covered by international law to which we are a signatory. They can be collateral damage, but combatants must take necessary precautions, and they may not be deliberately targeted.

[Lumper20]

True. Waterboarding was never torture.

Hey, it’s Trump who backed down. Apparently, he doesn’t know what you do.
