[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] It just seems to me that we're using some very outdate notions of what a soldier is. And it seems to me that the United States is hanging on that vagueness to say that we [b]can[/b] treat them however we want to treat them. The should of the question in question never seems to have entered the minds of the administration. The concepts of cohesive units and ranks don't have the same meaning for rebel or terror groups that they have for an organized standing army. And yet that does not make rebels or terrorists any less soldiers in a cause. The modern concept of warfare on insurgency or terror and use of arms to combat such has very little to do with pitched battles like Iwo Jima. Mr. Bush declared a war on terrah...or terror as the case may be...and these are the soldiers on the opposing sides. The only thing that we have to do is treat them the way we would want our soldiers to be treated. [/QB][/QUOTE]
