Terrorists are non-state actors. And the states which support them may be signatories to the Geneva convention, but they are not so picky when it comes to abiding by the letter of the law. Do you really think that the “law” protects captured American soldiers?

It’s not a tit for tat thing.

We don’t give up on the Geneva conventions because someone else violates them.
