They aren't classified as POW's because we are deliberately not considering them POW's and no one is in a position to tell us what to do. Fine with me, I certainly don't need the drama of anger and self righteousnes to justify getting information from them and then executing them or whatever.
You might want to think twice about torturing and killing prisoners though. IT doesn't bode well for american soldiers and civilians in the future.
The universe has a maxim: Take what you want . . . and pay for it.
So we need to figure out exactly what we want here and how to get it and then colldly execute those objectives. Without the sugarcoating and bullshit. And then we better be willing to face trhe consequences, usually unforseen, without complaining.

damn that, they shouldn't have any rights, given the circumstances and the threats they are still giving to the guards at Camp X-Ray about wanting to kill Americans, i see the situation as acceptable. Further, since they aren't classified as P.O.W.'s, they aren't granted prisoner rights under the Geneva Convention.
So, Fack 'em.
