Their primary talking point is that the prisoners there suffer “despair.” An editorial on Monday spoke of a “netherworld of despair.” Human Rights Watch has chimed in with “incredible despair”. And this morning the Times runs an op-ed headlined “Detainees in Despair” written by someone who has been released from Gitmo

So what would be different if they were classified as POWs and could be held indefinitely until the end of hostilities? Nothing. Are prisoner of war camps now to be outlawed? I imagine the POWs during WWII had a lot of "despair", not knowing how long the war would last.
