War Crimes

Here is an exerpt describing war crimes in Iraq, but it also has the official geneva convention.

What if, instead of fighting the war on terror the way our currently fighting it, we argued that terrorist acts were war crimes and must go punished in accord with the Geneva Convention. That would have been an elegant approach to building a worldwide consensus to ruthlessly attack terrorists. Any state refusing to do so would be in violation of Geneva and subject to harsh and legal punishment.
