Lesson Learned

It appears that the military won't be having any more incidents like the one in which Jessica Lynch was taken captive. Guess the “brave Iraqi resistance” will have to go back to ambushing lone soldiers or shooting at soldiers who aren't able to shoot back. Or maybe they’ll have to go back to blowing up innocents to get these kinds of numbers:

SAMARRA, Iraq — American forces killed 46 Iraqis and captured eight others Sunday who were trying to ambush them in the northern city of Samarra

Looks like the Geneva Convention may apply.

Many of the dead Iraqi attackers were found wearing uniforms of the Fedayeen (search), a militia loyal to Saddam Hussein, according to Lt. Col. William MacDonald of the 4th Infantry Division.

Was Iraq a signatory? If so, would the Fedayeen fall under that agreement? Talk to me, lawyers.
