Iraqi Soldiers and guerrillas who fall under the following definition are considered Prisoners of War. Wrong, but thanks for playing. Then tell us why you think he is wrong. The boys at gitmo are not POWs. We are speaking here of Iraqi Soldiers and Guerrillas. Who, for your information, are not held at the facilities in MCS Guantanamo Bay. They are being held in EPW camps in various locations within Iraq. The people detained at Guantanamo Bay are, Individuals Not of Armed Forces Who Commit Hostile Acts, IOW Illegal Combatants. As defined by the following from FM 27-10 Law of Land Warfare. Quoted as follows; 81. Individuals Not of Armed Forces Who Commit Hostile Acts Persons who, without having complied with the conditions pre-scribed by the laws of war for recognition as belligerents (see GPW, art. 4; par. 61 herein), commit hostile acts about or behind the lines of the enemy are not to be treated as prisoners of war and may be tried and sentenced to execution or imprisonment. Such acts include, but are not limited to, sabotage, destruction of communications facilities, intentional misleading of troops by guides, liberation of prisoners of war, and other acts not falling within Articles 104 and 106 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and Article 29 of the Hague Regulations. 82. Penalties for the Foregoing Persons in the foregoing categories who have attempted, committed, or conspired to commit hostile or belligerent acts are subject to the extreme penalty of death because of the danger inherent in their conduct. Lesser penalties may, however, be imposed. A fact that you have conveniently disregarded. I personally go check every fact and figure, when Steve disagrees with me. Of course, perhaps your ego is bigger than mine. ![]() Then you missed at least one and probably two or three facts when you did your checking. As to egos, I wouldn't know. I'm just one of the guys who captured and or processed some of the detainees held at MCS Guantanamo Bay. Snark |
