The tail that wags the dog.

Warsame and his terrorist ilk cannot claim to have rights under the Geneva Convention and/or any other lines of Human Rights legislation, since they act as a law unto themselves, until such times as they are apprehended by those who are signatory to the Geneva Conventions and Human Rights legislation. To demand that Warsame must not be treated in the way he has been treated so far, is to demand that he, in effect, has more rights than those who operate within the constraints of their international obligations, and whom Warsame has every intention to summarily kill.
