Ok...
So we should throw the geneva convention out the window? If one of out pilots gets brutally tortured we can only say..."oh well, it was war...."
Think about the precedent being set!
Come on you have to hold us to the same standards we would an enemy... Otherwise you are saying we are above the civilized rules....
If we do hold those rules in contempt, then what does that say about us?
(Again, I hope the bastard suffers for years.... but should we do more than imprison him? Torture should be beneath us...)
