No, but legally they are protected by treaties and conventions we have signed.
As well as our Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So, to me, the question is that if we don't obey those laws and conventions, don't we become terrorists in their view? Are their views correct in those circumstances?

To me it's all red tape. And I'm asking why. I'm asking why because chances are this man would go on being a terrorist, this man would go on being unpunished, this man would not treat Americans better because of any treaty or convention, etc.
And we are worse than terrorists in their view from the moment we are born. Margaret Hassan who lived in Iraq for 30 years, married an Iraqi, and dedicated her life to helping poor Iraqis while being against the war was brutally murdered by these terrorists. Was it because she shot a terrorist when he didn't have a weapon?
Yes, get the embedded reporters out of there and let our troops decide how to fight on the ground and adapt as best as they can. If they blatantly attack a civilian then punish them.
