The Hippocratic Oath instructs doctors to "do no harm." I submit that treating active al-Qaeda members violates the oath because they intend harm, thus rending the doctor's moral covenant with the larger society. It is one thing to keep the vermin well in the confines of a prison, or a brig, another altogether to send them on their merry way to further terrorism.
