Posted by SLRT on Wed Sep 21 21:17:06 2011, in response to Re: dand commits another murder of the truth, posted by Jeff Rosen on Wed Sep 21 21:04:11 2011. What about war when one takes the offensive?I don't want to get too deep into this (he foolishly says) but by the Hague and Geneva Conventions, a lawful (or privileged) combatant in war is exempt from murder laws, so long as he adheres to the Laws of War in his actions. This is called "the combatant's privilege." If he kills outside the laws of war (as intentionally killing a civilian for no reason) he is a murderer. No one bothers to honor it any more, but all the suicide bombers and their ilk are murderers, even though I think the UN defines murderer as someone who is on the side of the Western world. |
