#1 I don't condone mistreatment of prisoners, but the Taleban were intentional non-signatories to any convention. Their apologist websites - azzam.com, khurasaan.com, al neda.org, islamicawakening.com, etc - all celebrated their disassociation from non-shariah law.
And they did carry out massacres such as that Mazhar-e-Sharif (Ironically, I think that means "manifestation of innocence" in Arabic). They set themselves up for revenge by paramilitaries. What goes around...

#2 and this is bad.....why? I think the prisoners soon to be released to (again) fight against us and an elected representative government in Kabul should again be packed in similar containers...just a lot more tightly, especially if there was only a 50% attrition rate
