The Geneva Conventions are the most misunderstood international treaties in existence. Putting aside the fact that we are the only country that even attempts to comply, they just don't apply in Iraq. Similarly, whatever some folks may wish, it is a simple fact that the US Constitition applies only to US citizens (anywhere) and "persons" PRESENT in the United States. Iranian terrorists fighting in Iraq aren't covered by any legal convention and we are legally permitted to do whatever we wish with them.
