We know this "war" has an infinite duration the way it has been framed, so holding combatants with no way out for automatic life sentences is plain barbaric.

Maybe that's why they call them "enemy combatants." If they were POWs, they would have to do the barbaric and keep them effectively forever. :/

"Enemy combatant" spares them that barbarity--and leaves them in limbo, instead. Frying pans and fire...
