I agree. I see nothing wrong with having them in Spanish. There are many, many Spanish speakers in America.

yeah, I can just imagine some Spanish speaking people trying to join the US Military.
"Oh yes, I will die for this country- oh, by the way, I do not speak the language" That would be a little odd, no?

I know this is a bit of a diversion from the topic at hand, but if anyone is interested, Al-Jazeera now has a website in english. the URL is english.aljazeera.net. it's interesting to read the other side's most blatant propaganda--since we already get so much of our own.
*I'm giving this info along with a content warning. They have posted the pictures of executed US forces (the ones that most western media outlets have refused to air), and they are pretty brutal.*

Crick - you sure weren't kidding about the slanted reporting.
I like how they quote "precision" in the artilce headline - "US 'precision' bomb destroys civilian bus" I guess they're implying that our precision bombs aren't that precise. They're not perfect and for anyone to think that technology or humans can be perfect must be living in another world. Also - the bombs were dropped before the bus was in view supposedly. The bridge was in the process of being bombed. I don't seem to be able to see any of the articles. I may have to go into IE and see if I can open them there.

Crick - that link is quite cool. Some of those articles & pics are absolutely horrible. Serves as a strong reminder to me why war is a bad idea

If ti maeks you feel better that civilian bus was reported at debkafiles (it's biased, but usually its facts check out-it has access to Israeli military sources) to have been a bus of palestinian suicide fighters coming from Syria. That's why the missile hit. Not inaccurate at all.

“Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy: “ “Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces. “ Meaning that, under the Convention, there are three categories to whom the Convention applies, including volunteer corps, but not exclusively to them. This is obviously necessary since a substantial part of the armed forces of many countries are composed by "conscripts" (I mean persons that are doing their military obligation to their country, some of which may be doing so reluctantly). It may also be interesting that I read in another site (in Portuguese) that it is understood that among the responsibilities of the captor it is included that of protecting the PoWs from retaliation from their own country, obviously an attempt to guarantee the safety of captured troops belonging to countries under tyrannical governments. I would like to point my perplexity by your desire of denying the status of PoWs to those troops, why do you wish to do so? As I pointed out, while it does constitute a minor violation, from it results greater good (saving lives and assuaging the Arabs). Fortunately, as far as I know, nor your government nor the British government is trying to defend something like your theory. Imagine what would be the consequences of that among the public opinion of the Arab World.
