Terrorists fighting out of uniform are not covered by the Geneva Conventions. My understanding is that only combatants fighting in uniform on behalf of a nation that is signatory to the conventions are covered.

Our politically-correct government is granting Islamo-fascist terrorists rights to which they are not legally entitled. Not content with affording prisoners the rights equal to those covered by the Geneva conventions, the Obama administration plans to bring 9/11 terrorists into this country and grant them the full constitutional rights of US citizens.

Members of the military deserve better leadership and support from their own government. It must be very frustrating to be hamstrung by rules of engagement that no member of Congress or the administration would apply to themselves.

I don't exactly know the rule on that for sure, but I do know that the United States choose to apply the Geneva Convention to all enemies, terrorists or not. When I got to my first duty station I got a booklet on all rules and reg's on that post, and the general ROE. There was a big part of the Geneva convention in it, including some of the rules I stated in my previous posts. We have classes on it. ALOT of VERY boring classes...lol.
