That is up to the the lawyers, isn't it zonder. Everyone here has an opinion on everything else. Why not an opinion on this issue? Besides, the convention is fairly clear - if ever there is a doubt, courts of law need to decide on POW status and prisoners enjoy POW status until such a decision. The people killed and injured on 9-11, and their families should be as well cared for Definitely. Not much to do about the dead, but their relatives should definitely be cared for. This is not irrelevant to the POW issue, though. have you read much about the death camps of Germany in WW11, or of the Battan Death March and how these prisioners were treated? No. But again, irrelevant to the issue at hand. the detainees in Gitmo even are provided mats on which to pray. Again, irrelevant.
