The error of logic here is that those detained at Guantanamo are not prisoners of war, but unlawful enemy combatants. Many of them are also war criminals in the international law sense of that erm.

The logic of this author is perhaps applicable to native insurrectionists in Iraq (read those NOT of al Qaeda and its supporters or ilk), but would be disastrous in application to those who have purposely commited acts of terror or conspired in them.
