"If like you said they are POW status until adjudicated otherwise," Yes, that's what the treaty requires.... "then as POWs they cannot challenge their detentions in the courts." Correct --- but certain protections would be afforded to them as POWs by international law which are NOT afforded to them now: for example: it would be illegal for us to transfer them to third-countries to be tortured, not to mention it would be illegal to torture them in the first place....) The same protections that are afforded US military when they are captured by an enemy.
