Incorrect. The Geneva Convention does not apply since the kind of things they were doing when taken prisoner. What happens to prisoners taken in a war zone with the captured enemy combatants in civilian clothes? If you read the Geneva Convention these are left out unless they meet some very specific conditions. Our military had the right to summarily shoot them.

  Ah, but that's not how most of the prisoners we hold (and held) came into our custody.
