Sartorial precepts of war...


At last, during the Pentagon press briefing this afternoon a reporter asked something that I had been wondering about. ABC's John McQwethy asked why the Pentagon keeps saying that it is a war crime for Iraqi soldiers to wear civilian clothes while it is acceptable for the US to have special forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in civilian clothing. Tori Clarke refused to answer the question.

If anyone has some knowledge of international law regarding to war I would welcome an explanation. Although I do understand that America's definition of "international law" is much like Bierse's definition of "christian" in the post below.
