Oh, and BTW, you don't know what your talking about with respect to the Geneva Conventions. A signatory "party will remain bound until the non-signatory no longer acts under the strictures of the convention." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Geneva_Convention
Last time I heard Al Qaeda has not signed nor followed the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. Please feel free to correct me if you have contrary information. |
Oh you're good. Damn lawyers.
