I have no personal knowledge of Iraqi insurgents, but my opinion is based on a number of personal conversations with the Islamic author Irshad Manji, as well as the works of too many other authors to name, but most notably, and most recently,Michael Scheuer.

I understand the frustration ... when live's are being lost to an enemy that doesn't seem to "follow the rules" it's natural to feel that the rules shouldn't apply to anyone.

Frankly, right now I could argue both sides - but in my gut, I don't think throwing the rules out could possibly be a good thing.
