Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Then why don't you try it sometime
They are afforded the rights contained in the Convention. NOT the rights of POWs per the Convention.

The GC is much more than just a document covering POW treatment. And it establishes minimum standards for treatment...which you still can't seem to show are being violated.

And you seemed to NOT read the direct quote I gave from the Geneva Convention regarding those detained that pose security risk. They are DENIED communication rights and are afforded only the full rights of the Convention after it has been determined that they pose no further risk.

New You see, I can read and you're illiterate.
Oh, so tell me what rights they have then, as "illegal combatants".

Then tell me what rights POW's have.

Then compare/contrast the two.
New I already gave you your homework assignment
Also showed you where basic Geneva provisions can be denied based upon security concerns of the captors.

So...if you don't mind...show me where basic Geneva treatment is being violated? You're the expert, right?

They are not POW and don't qualify for POW protection. They qualify for basic Geneva protection. Humane treatment, medical care, etc. Those basic protections can be even further limited...appropriate Geneva language was quoted more than 2 posts back. Or can't you follow that far either?

New And we, once again, come back to my point.
That's right.

The prisoner's are to be treated as if they were POW's.

But you don't want that.

You want these "security" issues to be used to remove their rights.

Which is a problem with the GC.
New No we haven't
They are to be afforded basic treatment per the Geneva Convention.

That is NOT the same as being treated as a POW. POW status grants MORE protection than basic Geneva protection.

Those "security" provisions ARE IN THE GENEVA CONVENTION.
