The presumption IMO has to be that if the detainee was captured while fighting against American forces that they are an enemy combatant. If you don't have that presumption then I think you'll find less prisoners and more enemy who are just killed on the battlefield.

I agree.

This dilemma was described in past wars by the phrase, "Kill em all and let God sort them out."
