Sure. And part of the discussion (as I recall; it's been a while since I read those PDFs too) revolves around the sort of standards that you can expect our troops who are engaged in combat to follow as opposed to the -- I would expect -- higher standards that would (in my opinion) be appropriate for our police to follow.

It would be easier if the folks we were fighting were following any of the rules for combatants that the Geneva Convention sets out. By and large, they don't; thus, the problem with trying to apply the Geneva Convention rules to them. (Yes, the Supreme Court said that we should, but I'm thinking the logic there was a bit fuzzy. Doesn't mean it's not the law, just that I believe that the law can sometimes be an ass.)
