The DOD article linked to by artbrooks above clearly indicates that these guys are POWs. Both the US and Iraq are signatories of the convention and there's no way to write them off as illegal combatants as was done in Afghanistan. That's been clear from the beginning since the US expected the Iraqis to comply with the Convention in treating US POWs in both wars.

GUEST, as I pointed out, the remedy for violations of the Geneva Convention are spelled out pretty clearly in Article 129. It appears we're following that article. But I guess you can't see my posts anymore, can you?
