When the Brits capture the IRA, do they treat them as prisoners of war? They have been treated as special prisoners. Like for example convicted killers set free as part of political agreements... news.bbc.co.uk The history has been a war though. Legal arguments just did not come into it. Like internment and detainment without trial. There is an ugly side to fighting a guerrilla war. There is even a case where special troops were used to carry out sectarian killings. One guy even wrote a book about it. Complete with maps of mass burial sites. A large proportion of IRA terrorists were executed before they got into Northern Ireland. amazon.com Questions were asked in the Houses of Parliament when this book was published. It is almost certainly true. You could even go and dig up the bodies...They are still there.
