Winners make the law. So stop.
We kill plenty of civilians in our attacks. I am sure it is small comfort to them and their families that they may not have been
deliberately targeted.
So its a little thin for us to justify our killing them . . . and as far as them killing us . . .
We really don't need to justify what we do, they are losing. They are getting caught. So they have to face the consequnces of losing.

I believe that they should be held under the protection of the law, but that law cuts both ways. While it may protect them from unjust treatment it also means that they are subject to the law... now under international law these terrorists and insurgents are guilty of war-crimes such as directly targeting civilian populations, and the mistreatment or murder of prisoners. Since this is the case they should be tried as such, and if convicted then punished according to the law....ironically if the US subscribed to the international court and it's legal authority the arguement would be mostly moot.
