It does not cover terrorists and should not cover terrorists.

A Winnar is you:

Recognizable uniform == Geneva Convention protections
No recognizable uniform == No Geneva Convention protections

What did the Russians do with German soldiers that were out of uniform, in Berlin? That's exactly right -- they machine-gunned them on the spot.

Now, for arab muslims, death is so common that they've become de-sensitized to it. Which brings me right back to Abu Ghairab. Sexual humiliation is something that the vast majority of jihadists absolutely cannot psychologically cope with. If there is any kind of deterance value to be gained by punishment, then sexual humiliation is the only thing that is going to work. To increase it's effectiveness, it would probably be best if it was a Jewish female laughing and pointing at their little peckers (no offense intended toward you, Avon -- I'm just being pragmatic).


So, I propose re-writing that article to read as follows:

Recognizable uniform == No sexually humiliating photos posted on the web and in newspapers/magazines.

Non-recognizable uniform == Sexually humiliating photos posted on the web and in newspapers/magazines.
