[Geneva Convention]... In a war, you capture a soldier who probably knows the other side's next big attack.

in a "conventional" war, soldiers wear uniforms to identify themselves. If for example, a UK soldier was caught behind German lines, assuming a war situation between UK and Germany, without a UK uniform, he does not have the Geneva Convention rights. Same situation with AQ folks.
