Maybe but The Geneva convention is an agreement between nations. And like all conventions, parties to the convention are not bound by the convention to parties who are not. Al Qaida is not bound by the Geneva convention. They arent states. They arent protected by the Geneva Convention and could never be such.
So the Geneva Convention is irrelevant when it comes to Al Qaida.
It would really be great if righties actually could find the time to read the Geneva Convention.
In the opening section
"The Convention shall also apply to all cases of partial or total occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, even if the said occupation meets with no armed resistance."
Iraq and Afghanistan were both parties to the Geneva Convention, therefore it applies to the respective occupations of these countries.
