Fox News regarding the prisoners being roughed up a bit in Gitmo:

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain (search), who was subjected to torture for five and a half years while in captivity in a North Vietnamese prison, said these techniques endanger U.S. fighting forces.

“What happens next time when a conflict with an American not in a uniform on some kind of clandestine operation such as our people who were in Afhganistan in civilian clothes is captured? What kind of protections do you think that that American service man or woman is going to get?” McCain asked.

No offense Senator, but none. First off, even our uniformed soldiers are not getting any protections. And beyond that, if our soldiers are breaking the Geneva conventions by wearing civilian clothes, that is the chance that they are taking. We either follow the rules or not.
