[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't enemy combatant same as prisoner of war? And gitmo an institution about to be closed? And would the Geneva convention apply to him?[/quote] No, an enemy combatant is specifically NOT entitled to benefits accorded to prisoners of war. Since the US has declared the war on terrorism to entitle them to use wartime powers, the Geneva convention applies to that situation. Guantanamo Bay is slated to be closed, but no efforts have been made to proceed because they cannot determine what should be done with the enemy combatants that are currently housed there. They are not supposed to be brought into the US proper and they cannot be released. Gitmo is a no man's land and until they can resolve what to do about the internees there they can't close the place.[/quote]
