When “terrorists” are seized on the battlefield and brought to Gitmo, they are enemy combatants. They are prisoners of war,

They should be treated as terrorists ...not enemy combatants or prisoners of war. They reject the Geneva convention, do not wear uniforms, behead our soldiers, etc.

The way we coddle them is taken as weakness instead of appreciated.

Better to taken none prisoner (kill them in combat) than send the wrong message that encourages jihad.

They should be treated as enemy combatants. They work under the auspices of foreign governments. Those governments need to be punished as well.

And the enemy agents are war criminals for the tactics they use in waging war.
