Jeff,
Per the Geneva Convention, a POW is someone captured as an enemy combatant during a time of war.
1. To be able to quote the GC you must be a signatory. Hezbollah is not.
2. Lebanon and Israel are not at war so you can't be a POW
3. Hezbollah is not a country and can't declare war (well the can but it doesn't mean anything)
4. Hezbollah KIDNAPPED those soldiers and if they die during captivity that is MURDER.
Any questions?
