OK but I wasn't talking about capturing them in order to torture them, but merely the right to capture them, and the lack of requirement for providing the full range of legal protections that we provide in normal criminal cases.

Those terms are surrendering all information that could be used as part of a further attack on us. Not having done so constitutes failure to surrender in lieu of furthering attacks.

You have a rather unique perspective here. I'm not arguing that its wrong (or that it is right), I'm just pointing out it is untraditional and not common.

The US instructs its soldiers to make an effort to avoid giving away important information if they are captured, and to escape if they can. According to your definition of surrender, it would seem that American soldiers who abide by the codes they are told to follow, would not have actually surrendered.
