In saying this, I realize the enemy does the same things...no better, no worse.
The main purpose of the geneva convention is more to protect the "grunts". Any person with potentially compromising knowledge on either side...well...lets just say all is fair in love and war. And the American "interviewers" are the best in the world.

I wouldn't say "no better, no worse." Are you going to tell me you would have just as much fear of being captured by our army as you would of being captured by Al Qadea? Come on! There is no limit to what Al Qadea may do to you. They may tear you apart limb by limb. They may give you the worst imaginable torture and then cut your head off. I don't think that is the case with what our guys would do to you. Don't get me wrong. They would make your life miserable and they may scare you half to death, but there is still a limit as to what they will do to you. They're not going to kill you because if they do they might go to jail. Some of our soldiers are in big trouble right now for killing prisoners and even civilians.
