Not to mention that the Geneva Convention is aimed at uniformed combatants. It's not supposed to be used for terrorist/insurgent protection.

Wise up again. Terror nations are on the arise. They will have uniforms and regular armies but they won't give a damn about the GC.
Yes, there are lines to be drawn but they shouldn't be drawn at the "your pants are way down" line.

That is also another reason for Bush just too come out with a policy and then he can submit it to Nato if he wants to come out with an international convention for treatment of terrorists/insurgents.

Most other NATO members still having the luxury of not having to face a major massive war against such terror forces. They will not be a source of support for a while to come.
