Has anybody actually read the the Geneva Convention? Article 5 is very clear (and remember that as a signatory, the US is obliged to submit). If there is ANY question to status, a tribunal will be held for prisoners on an individual basis. US military law details how this kind of tribunal would be conducted. The administration is in violation of international and US laws. If we don't follow these sort of international agreements, we can't expect future US "detainees" to expect civilized treatment.
