I wonder how Americans would feel if their soldiers were kept like the Al Qaeda POW's

    Looks just like the way the North Vietnamese and North Koreans treated your airmen. I now assume you thought that was okay.
    That's because we don't equate legal combatants with terrorists. There's no valid comparison. If they were indeed real soldiers, they would be afforded the best care as required under the Geneva Convention.

    In other words, these terrorists are less than animals and their well being is less important than what information we can get out of them.

    So no, we would not approve of US POW's being treated like that, but again, our soldiers are not a terrorist army whose sole purpose is to wipe out a nation.

      That's ALLEGED terrorists you moron. Nothing has been proven against these prisoners whose human rights are being violated.

        Actually your questions have been answered. But for this thread to get to a decent number of posts before it is forgotten you have to keep on at it.

        If you actually believe that Americans would last long enough in the hands of these people to become POWs (other than for their amusement or propaganda value) than your isolation in the utopian paradise that you think is Australia has been too long.

          Some of the best leaders in history have equated their enemies as being less than animals.

            Once again, pulleth thy head out.
            U.S. p.o.w.'s have always been treated gingerly? You point it out yourself.
            Get a grip, Horse.
            Show me some Geneva Convention guidelines that have been broken.

              Alleged, my ass.
              Do you think these guys were woken from their slumber and falsely accussed?

                The U.S is obviously not behaving as a civilised country. Who's surprised? Greatest democracy in the free world. NOT at all. Look to Europe and learn something ABOUT civilization.

                  I could be wrong but...

                  Doesn't the Geneva convention presume PoW status, with the burden falling on the people holding the prisoners to prove otherwise?

                      Yes, we can learn from how you Brits treated Irish aboard the Titanic, for example.
                      SO humane, the Brits are.

                        BTW, the Al-Qaeda prisoners don't meet the criteria for POW status laid forth in the Geneva convention so comparisons to US soldiers are specious at best.

                              correct me if i'm wrong, but weren't the citizens of many countries killed on 9/11?
