a violation of international law with regard to his POW status, I have a different opinion on this. He is not a POW because - He was not wearing the uniform of his military - He was not in combat - he was AWOL and doing his best to be undetected. The 2nd point is weaker, but POW status is clear on the first.

And I would like to point you to the ABSENCE of any intelligence information related to accessories/supporters of that attack because of such a hasty execution. These are hardened terrorists and they are ready for suicide attacks. You think they fear for their lives. Interrogating them has produced mis information instead of information. Isn't that how Osama fled. Those they captured when the Afghan war was ongoing, pointed the US intelligence in the wrong direction and they landed up getting Osama's bodyguards who were fleeing in one dirention and OSama was fleeing in the other direction. I know the WH will make a big deal about Saddam's capture and make it sound like something big. But when Patrick Buchanan says that his capture after such a long time gets us nowhere near victory on the war on terrorism since Saddam has been out of the loop, we need to start getting worried. So what if Bush has succeeded in capturing his father's would be assasin mastermind. That is a victory for the Bushes.
