I don't really expect any country to treat any prisoners "fairly". In war, there isn't so much a right and wrong as there is a can and can't. Everything gets judged afterwards, and by that point it really doesn't matter anymore because everything is said and done.

War law was always such a funny concept to me. All laws are always pushed to their limits. War is no different.
