But hey, these people at Guantanamo Bay are not prisoners of war, these are 'illegal combatants' caught in the war on terror. I guess it must be ok then...

yeah it's understandable that the US could behave like this in the aftermath of 9/11 but it's been 2 years now - yes back then we could accept guantanamo bay because the USA was in a kind of 'state of emergency' but 2 years on it's about time it was wound down.
