Even if we extended POW status to members of the Taliban, that wouldn't apply to members of Al Qaeda, who are not Afghani, but, for the most part, Arabs. Saudis, Yemenis, Egyptians, not Afghanis, not Taliban.

So give me an argument that explains how Yemeni and Egyptian members of Al Qaeda who got their marching orders from bin Laden are nevertheless regulars in the Afghan army, even though they never wore the uniform of the Afghan army or drew pay from the Afghan government.

And after that you can explain how pirates are actually part of the Navy.
