It seems like there might be a paradigm mismatch here. Aren't the detainees at Guantanamo being held as enemy combatants? Why would they be charged as anything? Aren't they essentially prisoners of war--even if some might not meet the criteria for Geneva protections?
I mean, if we were at war with Germany, and we had captured German soldiers, would we really have to choose between charging them with a crime and releasing them? Wouldn't we hold them until hostilities ceased?
