>Yes... 'cause no good deed goes unpunished. Now every other country has an excuse to detain Americans no matter where they are caught, to deny them due process etc. And the excuse is quite simple and unbeatable: "Americans set the precedent".
Logical fallacy. None of our opponents since WW2 have treated any prisoners in accordance with the Geneva Convention. American citizens are routinely executed after capture. We are not fighting an enemy that obeys any rules of "civilized warfare" (a misnomer if there ever was one).
