kel sha,
do they remove the Prim'ta and let the host die (but that would be against the "ethic" and "morale" of the Tau'ri) ?
do they heed the "geneva conventions" (don't know if this is correct spelled) when the held them in a prison ? 
kree sha
Good questions here. My take on the matter is:
In #1:We, the American government's stand on it, would not allow the removal of the Prim'ta andlet the host die as it goes against the moral and the consitiutional right of 'life, liberty and the prusuit of happiness' in that it would take a life. We do not torture even war criminals. Since there were 'caotured' during part of a military situation, they would fall under military convention. They would be considered 'POW's' and the Geneva Convention in regards to the care and treatment of POW's would come into play.
Now... in the 'darker sides' of the Government, all bets may well be off.
In #2: Remember, the Jaffa are currently be seen as 'military prisioners' and can be held as such without entering the Americal Cival Judicial system for as long as the 'conflict' is still going on and determined as military involvement only. IE: The 'world' via it's voice as the United Nations, is not at a state of war with the Goa'uld. If the UN became involved, the Jaffa would have to be 'accused'of perpetrating acts that were defined by the Geneva Convention as 'War Crimes'. At that time, they would be held for trial. Depending on the outcome of that trial, they would be, if found guilty, either exicuted or remended to prison for the determined sentance. If found not guilty, I'm not sure what would happen.
As military prisioners, as I mentioned, they would be classified as 'POW's' as treated as such under the Geneva Convention.
