Sorry, Barry, I don't buy the idea that these guys are subject to the Geneva convention. Not only did they start the 'war'(note: Congress did NOT declare war on Afganistan or with anybody else. The last time that Congress declared war on aybody was in 1941) with an attack on innocent civilians, they are not the armed soldiers of a government recognized by us or any government except Pakistan. In fact, the Taliban was an outlaw state that openly sanctioned terrorism. These guys have already provoked a prison riot in which CIA agent Johhny Spann, as well as many Afghan soldiers were killed. They have several times attacked their guards, American soldiers, one with a knife made from a comb. These are mad animals, IMHO, who would kill you, me, or all the Marines in Guantanamo Bay, without the blink of an eye. Let the Marines handle them, and let military tribuals judge them.
