Now that's the entire point isn't it ?
Those people at Guantanamo are not prisoners of war. The US gouvernment has given them an entire new and thought up status to keep them in legal limbo. If they were prisoners of war they would have had certain rights under the Geneva convention. If they aren't then they should be treated as criminals and given a trial in either the US or their country of origin. The US is doing neither.
