There is no hypocrisy, Pat. Special forces soldiers as well as all
non-diplomatic class spies are illegal combatants. This is nothing new.
Every CIA, NSA, DIA or other agent working overseas under cover and
without diplomatic immunity is an illegal combatant is subject to
execution if caught under the Geneva Conventions. They all accept that
as a risk. This applies to all special forces units operating under
similar circumstances.
If we catch the other guys' illegals, we are equally justified in
executing them as well. The only thing that is new is my surprise at
your naivete and ignorance.

Did US forces set up base in schools where students were attending
classes? I didn't think so. Stop being a tool for the enemy.
