#2 More...

"SCA provides runs health, education and agricultural development programmes in about half of the country's provinces. It has been based in Afghanistan since the early 1980s.

When the soldiers left, hospital staff were told to report any potential insurgents they treated to the NATO forces, the Swedish group said. Fange said the SCA did not have to do so.

"There is the Hippocratic oath. If anyone is wounded, sick or in need of treatment ... if they are a human being, then they are received and treated as they should be by international law."

#3 ...then they are received and treated as they should be by international law."

Must be that international law they repeatedly and consistently violate.

Someone misses the key element that compliance with those laws is a prerequisite to enjoying the benefit of those laws who's main objective is to protect civilians. By ignoring that key element, it results in more not less civilian casualties, pain and suffering.

#4 Nobody said they had to violate their Hippocratic oath and not treat ill or injuried terrorists - just that they had to violate their hypocritical oath and report those treated to NATO.

#6 Just post a soldier at the hospital for security, easy, done. Talibs wont show up. When the Sweeds leave with meds to help the talibs they can be followed arrested for supporting terrorism...
