The above quote of mine that you copied was a remark aimed at the supreme illogic of saying that Al Qaeda taking out a city (Al Qaeda operatives being non-state actors who disguise themselves) has anything to do with GC treatment of prisoners. It wasn't supposed to have anything to do with Iran.

I didn't advocate silence, if you recall. But don't let it trouble you that you didn't actually pay attention to what I wrote. I get the feeling this is just an exercise in futility. I continue to feel the upholding the GC are as much about the country that upholds them, as they are about some "trade" in favors with other countries. I would not want to think my country wanted to trade in the suffering of captives in that particular way, not even as a tit for tat.
