What do you think will happen to the next couple of American soldiers captured on hostile ground? Do you think they will get POW status?

We don't have to wonder. We already had American soldiers captured during the recent war. Though I think some were mistreated, they generally did have POW status as they should have.

But the Guantanamo detainees are not soldiers of another state at war with us.

We did, however, treat captured Iraqi soldiers in the recent war as POW's and that was correct. Even Saddam is considered a POW by Americans.
