Geneva Convention III, Art. 2,

"...Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof."

The Taliban never accepted nor applied the provisions of the GCs, so the US is not bound by it in relation to the Taliban.

The same applies with the Hague Conventions.

Our treatment of these people is not covered by the rules of war.

It is covered by our Constitution, our laws, and our morals.
