Yea, and Germany also indicted Donald Rumsfeld. Am I to believe he's a criminal too? Foreign indictments don't impress me. If US law was broken, as alleged in your post, then where are the indictments handed down by US courts?
And it's my understanding the Geneva Conventions pertain to Prisoners of War (POWs). These men who were captured were not fighting in the uniform of their country. They are Enemy Combatants, and therefore in my opinion have limited protections under the Geneva Conventions. But again, that's just my opinion, as I'm no lawyer.
