Nonsense — the Geneva Conventions explicitly place terrorists and irregular (e.g. non-uniformed) combatants outside the protections of international law. There is no American precedent for granting normative civil rights coverage to foreign soldiers — much less terrorists, spies and other foreign irregulars.

When making a claim like this, it helps to cite the Geneva convention.
