Reply #6: If they were captured on the battlefield they are protected under the Gevena Convention

Bush tried to say that they are not POW's because they don't wear a uniform but that's bullshit. They are POW's for all intents and purposes and should be treated as such.

And that does mean that they should not be tried in US courts or tried at all for that matter. They are held until the end of the war and then released once the war is over. That said if they were not captured on the battlefield and abducted by the US in some other manner then they should be entitled to rights in US courts.
