Posted in an article from National Review Online:
Both Afghanistan and the United States ratified the third Geneva Convention of 1949, which sets out basic protections for POWs, but they must be "lawful combatants" for the treaty to apply.
The Geneva Convention sets out four key preconditions. First, the soldiers must be part of an organized command structure, so that leaders can be held responsible. Second, the soldiers must wear fixed distinctive emblems visible from afar — so that the other side can avoid killing civilians without fearing attack from disguised fighters. Third, the soldiers must carry arms openly. Fourth, the other side must respect for the laws of war, for example, by not taking hostages.
Al Qaeda repeatedly violated these preconditions before, after, and during the Sept. 11 attacks. The al Qaeda terrorists target civilians; they do not wear uniforms; they do not carry arms openly; they take hostages (such as the hostages they took when they hijacked the four airplanes on Sept. 11). The Taliban leadership harbored, aided, and abetted Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda in their violations of the laws of war, and al Qaeda, in return, financed the Taliban. The Taliban soldiers, or many of them, committed war crimes, such as hiding weapons in mosques, and using their own people as human shields.
The Geneva Protocol allows non-state belligerents to secure protected treatment under the protocol. They just have to file a declaration with the Swiss government accepting the obligations of the protocol. When al Qaeda does that, then it will receive the benefits of POW status.

If a large military superpower, large enough to kick America's ass, were to come out and give George Bush 48 hours to leave the American Government so a new, better system could be put in place for the American people, what would he do? Would he hold fast in his position and go down with the ship? Or would he vacate for the good of the American people?
In my opinion, a legitimate leader cares about the people he represents and not his own power.

but I feel like the MOAB is so impractical that it's more a "gee-wiz" weapon than a practical tactical weapon.
