Which holds unlawful combatants who are _explicitly_
denied the protections of POWs by those same
conventions.

Actually, Britain's legal case justifying the war was
explicitly based on the Charter.  Not to mention _18_
UN Resolutions.  It's one thing to interpret UN
resolutions in a neutral fashion.  Your interpretation
is so biased against the US as to be specious.  We
have ample legal justification for what we are doing
in Iraq.

Although I personally would argue that if
international law _did_ forbid what we are doing (as
it did without question in Kosovo) then it's
international law that's at fault, not us.
