There is still a post by a lawyer out there that was not answered by CB

I responded. I said that after reading through the definitions in the treaty, I did not see how it applied to the detainees at Guantanamo, and invited your friend to explain his position by bolstering it with facts.

As the recent release of 5 Pakistani detainees demonstrates, the US is not interested in keeping anyone who is not involved in terrorism.

Regardless of whether the Taliban is or is not the government of Afghanistan, members of the Taliban who are also terrorists are not covered by any definition in the Geneva convention. By engaging in terrorism, they committed crimes, and must be prosecuted.
