I am not saying that they are the rightful protectors, just as the fedayeen are nor rightful protectors of Iraq. I am merely saying, that until such a time as they can be deemed as having done something illegal, then they should be treated as POWs. once it has been shown that they have done something bad, then bring the full weight of the law upon them, but not before. It is hypocritical to adopt a policy of innocent until proven guilty in your own country, and then not apply it to people who you capture.
