No, I'm saying we should get all of the bastards...war-time acts or not!
The real fun is rationalizing the actions of those we favor while prosecuting the others (legally or not) with bold righteous indignation. As long as it makes the masses feel all hopey-changey, that's what is really important.
I think Dresden-style fire-bombing should be allowed under the Geneva Convention. Water-boarding is way worse, so lets make that a war crime and put them all in jail. It all makes perfect sense. String-em up!
