SPence, I understand your point. But, If you think about it, one minute, you are trying to kill someone, then its "inhumane" if you make them think your going to kill them.
Whats humane about trying to kill them in the first place?

How sick is war? Why do we have the Geneva convention? It's to bring some method to the maddness.
The simple fact is that these Iraqi's were powerless. I don't care if they were trying to kill our guys the week before. The moment they become prisoners everything changes.
Would this be acceptable if it were done to a convict in the USA? If we are to hold a moral authority in the world, and use this to justify our actions...then we must hold ourselves accountable to the same authority.
