#1 Is there a war on? Yes.
Were your beloved citizens Nigel and Ian caught in a war zone? Yes.
Were they caught in battle or with weapons? Yes.
Were they in uniform in the service of a combatant country? No.

What does your European written Geneva Convention say about this? Unlawful combattant. Summary execution.
Lord Falconer, as an ally and minister sworn to uphold the law, would you like to fire the first executioners bullet?

#2 Actually I think we should just put a bullet behind an ear and give them back in an urn.

I really think these fools don't understand the Geneva Conventions that the US has signed on to. That is not all of them BTW.
