I thought the idea was that you call them terrorists specifically so that they’re not official enemy combatants and the Geneva convention doesn’t apply?
- pm90 9y agoNo, its because it was terrorists that caused 9/11. So, you could justify anything if you just said: we're doing it because they're "terrorists".
- ep103 9y agoHe got away with it for a lot of reasons, ranging from issues with the term War Crime, to the fact that the US doesn't support the ICC, to the fact that he was a VP, etc, etc. I'm not surprised he avoided prison; rather, I was saddened by the lack of complete moral outrage after he made such a statement.
