Obviously, in the world today, that is totally unacceptable - haven't you been tracking world (left) view? :o) those are now considered
innocent civilians.

>>Just make sure that the next time you show up for war in a uniform, you pack your civies... :o)

>>Oh, I forgot, that's only the U.S. so it only works for those fighting against the U.S....so in the case of Canada, make sure anyone you capture who is shooting at you, you read them their legal rights...

>>Interesting that when enemies were captured, it is standard process to 'read them their rights,' but the rights read to them are those under the Geneva conventions, not legal rights under a civilian judicial system. I guess that is all changing and the world likes it...

>>I think this would all work much better if organized fighting forces who were captured were recognized as POWS. Afterall, if they are fighting in a military conflict, then it should be so IMHO. That would be much better than what happened to those caught in civilian clothes assisting the 'enemy' during WWII on some of the sides of the conflict...
