I'm not advocating anything, but I'm sure the NA are not treating the Taliban any worse than they would have been treated if they were captured. That doesn't make it right, but that's the reality in Afghanistan for centuries, long before we got involved.When someone decides to go to war, they ought to expect that getting shot by the opponents is a real possibility. The Geneva convention is nice in theory, but I wonder how many Afghanis have even heard of Geneva, never mind the Geneva convention. Unfortunately for them, some of the Taliban soldiers were forced into fighting for them. The reported skinning alive of prisoners bothers me more than shooting them. How do they do that, anyway? Just curious, I'm not planning on doing any copy catting!
