Fragment of a discussion from Comments:NATO troops kill four people on bus in Afghanistan

"Standard operating procedures for a check point are to signal the driver to slow down and stop their vehicle at least 100 meters out. If the driver continues you fire a warning shot, then a killing shot (this is subject to change under the ROE for that area/command). This progression can all take place in a matter of seconds. When we did this in an exercise it went from signalling to shooting less than 10 seconds. Depending on the speed and distance of the vehicle headed towrd the checkpoint it could be more or less than that."

That is pure evil, and an outright Violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

If the United States had the cojones to join the International Criminal Court they would be held accountable for these daily war Crimes

Um, citation needed? What clause of the Geneva convention does this practice violate? It seems pretty reasonable to me.
