Stephen Trying POWs is a contravention of Geneva convention. Serbia would be declared a rogue/terrorist state(if not already?) and would not know what hit em. As a military analyst said last night on CNN, "what we're giving them is love taps" with these smart bombs. Things would get real rough real fast if our men are harmed while the serbs violate international standards for treatment of prisoners of war.

Prisoners of war? What war? Did you see any declaration of war? The power to declare war is a Congressional power, not a presidential power. US Constitution Art. 1, Sec. 8. (That's why Gulf of Tonkin resolution.) No Congressional declaration, no war. If they were in Yugoslavia itself, as appears increasingly likely, they can be tried for illegal entry as any other person who sneaks across a border can be. We do it to illegal aliens all the time. Or, since there's no war, are they spies? A country is entitled to try and shoot spies. Legally, Clinton has put himself up a creek without even a canoe, let alone a paddle.

<<Ordinary prisoners of war are never tried, incarcerated for the duration yes.>> They are not prisoners of war. There is no war, officialy that is. U.S. has never declared war on Serbia and visa versa. This means those three guys cannot be considered to be POW and have NO rights under Geneva convention. Since they were captured on Serbian territory, as serbs say, they will be tried for being in Serbia without proper papers. Thats the official serbian version. They will probably deport them, under the laughs of the whole serbian nation.
