They are not POWs.They are illegal combatants.
We are properly exercising our options as to treatment of illegal combatants by interring them at GITMO, and processing them by military standards IAW the Geneva conventions.
We would also be properly exercising our legal options if we conducted military tribunals and executed the lot of them.
I dont understand why many people (not just you) fail to grasp or stubbornly ignore this simple fact.

I don't know how I feel on this. I don't like the whole "enemy combatents" thing given that there IS NO CLEARLY DEFINED ENEMY! When is the war on terror going to be over? Never. When will they be released? Never. Are they all guilty? I doubt that. This issue needs to be discussed and not just accepted.
