My understanding is that the International Red Cross has a mandate to investigate the conditions of prisoners of war and civilian internees.

I would be interested to see the argument that Americans who have been kidnapped by Al Qaeda are either of these - prisoners of war or civilian internees.

Our own argument about Al Qaeda, as I understand it, is that they are common criminals without any legitimate status.
