Berkeley law professor cannot be sued over Bush-era torture memos

14. You are a disgrace to your chosen username.

Valjean was a defender of the weak & the innocent against the casual
tyranny of the corrupt state. You seem to have reversed this.

With regard to the question in your post:

> If you treat unlawful combatants the same as lawful combatants,
> what is the incentive to adhere to the rules that apply to lawful combatants?

You have obviously forgotten that the whole designation of "unlawful combatant"
was used as a CYA to allow the so-called "lawful combatants" to kidnap, assault,
torture and illegally imprison civilians.

Mind you, given the behaviour of the "lawful combatants" in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Yemen, Pakistan, Sudan and the rest, there's precious little that would be ruled
off-limits to a combatant of whichever artificial label anyway ...
