Urban legend... You may use whatever you want, to fire at anyone!
Try reading the actual convention, you'd be surprised how "liberal" it is!

How else would you explain direct fire on a person with an AT-gun?

You may be thinking of the Skt. Peterborgs protocols, I'm not sure if the US has signed those (Denmark has).
But those protocols are so old and out-of-date, that when using any modern firearm, you wouldn't have to worrie about that...

link to the video? political correctness? (refering to the "...Just shooting Iraqis" comment, say insurgent or something)

I don't think Geneva permits using AT weapons against infantry at all. You'll see the Russians doing it because they never signed it. Plus Geneva is out of date too. You cant use rubber bullets or CS gas, or water cannons under military ops against an enemy force, yet it's fine in the civilian world (i.e. law enforcement).

It needs re-writing to take into account modern weapons and warfare.
