According to the convention, all the terroists we are currently giving good care to in Gitmo could be taken out and summarily shot. We need give them no trial, lawyers etc. Come to think of it, I wish we would. I'd donate the ammo.

Would you care to state the relevant section and paragraph where you claim it states:
"According to the convention, all the terrorists we are currently giving good care to in Gitmo could be taken out and summarily shot. We need give them no trial, lawyers etc".
Its only regulations such as the Geneva Convention that separate us from the so-called terrorists who you profess to despise.
You neither know anything about the Geneva Convention or anything about serving in the military.
But we now know you to be an ignorant troll!

The Geneva Convention's intent was to incentivize and therefor assure fair and equal treatment of prisoners of war. The reason they have not been"summarily shot" is obviously due to the desire or need to extract any and all possible intelligence that might be of value, hence tactics such as torture, sensory deprivation, etc. are utilized to this end.

Are terrorists really soldiers?
If you believe they are, then we should go by the Geneva Convention rules.
If you believe they are terrorists...kill on sight baby (after you extricate the desired information).

where in the Geneva Conventions did you find this obscure clause?
I suggest you measure the US gov. with the same yardstick the Nazi gov. got: the Nuremberg Tribunals. Most of what the US is doing right now is considered a war crime and is comparable to German crimes of war during WWII.
Whose side are you on?

Personally why should we? Nobody else does. Just look at the treat our POW's get when they are captured by our enemies compared to the treatment we give their POW's we capture. End of story.

many are there because the war lords in Afghanistan were paid to round up people and turn them in. they wanted the money and weren't all that concerned about whether or not the people were guilty or not. Judging by your "itchy trigger finger", I doubt if you are either.
