Anyone notice how the way the United States Government is behaving these days rather looks like political Guerilla Warfare the likes of which violate the Geneva Convention by using the US population as collateral (even though WE are not the ones fighting)...? "The Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War was adopted in 1949..." "...Geneva Convention also defines the rights and protections afforded to non-combatants..." "...When the provisions of this article apply, it states that: **Persons taking no active part in hostilities, including military persons who have ceased to be active as a result of sickness, injury, or detention, should be treated humanely and that the following acts are prohibited: *violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel *treatment and torture; *taking of hostages; *outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment; and *the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples. **The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for..." "...Also considered grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention are the following: *taking of hostages *extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly *unlawful deportation, transfer, or confinement..." ~Wiki
