we have discussed this in the past, the geneva
convention allows that a combatant ccaught out of the
uniform of "their country" can be literaly shot
catagorically and there were germans caught in florida
in ww 2 that were shot not having went to the civil
courts at all. if roosevelt had had todays people to
deal with we'd all be speaking german or japanese.
i see no reason to rehash this. everyone on this list
has seen it all.
