does it only apply to countries OTHER than the united states? How long will we, as a society, allow our leaders to commit war crimes in our names? for all of the good folk who will undoubtedly question whether the United States has, in fact, violated the Geneva Convention:
"The Convention requires that POW’s “must at all times be treated humanely,” and goes on to list a number of specific requirements: they must not be killed, seriously endangered, mutilated or subject to medical or scientific experiments. Furthermore, they must be protected against acts of violence or intimidation, and against “insults and public curiosity” (Article 13)."
-The Geneva Conventions and Prisoners of War
(this is just one example- there are plenty more...)
