And I never said that had the "same rights" as soldiers in uniform.
Do you comprehend that the Geneva Convention covers MORE than just PoW's? Quote: |

For those who were captured on the battle field, it should be pretty damn easy to prove, shouldn't it? So why balk at having to provide reasonable proof?
The truth is that YOU DO NOT KNOW where these guys all came from, because the government is doing their damndest to KEEP THAT INFO from the American public.
If they did come out with a statement that said, "Every one of these prisoners came to us because we captured them attacking U.S. soldiers", we wouldn't be having this problem.
