This article (appearing in the SWJ Blog, as I write),
Drawing Lessons from Zimbabwe's War of Liberation (by Jephias Andrew Dzimbanhete; Journal Article, December 10, 2013), does exactly that - all stops are pulled.
The author's conclusion is relatively restrained given the body's overall content (snip):
Of course, under the 1977 APs to the GCs, "freedom fighters" were exempted from a number of the Laws of War. Consistent with the proponents of the 1977 APs, the author now introduces "freedom violence" as a protected category.
The article is certainly timely - Nelson Mandela's funeral and all. And, it takes one back to the 60s and 70s.
