And which “army” were these people in?

They weren’t. That’s why I was wondering why Kragar was wondering about the implications for POWs. There are none.

Non-uniformed enemy combatants are illegal under the Geneva Convention. They may be tried under a military tribunal and executed. All these prisoners fit the bill.

Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I don’t see any reason to give these people the dignity and respect of pretending that they’re engaged in an armed conflict with us, that they represent a nation, that they represent anything other than their own hate.

I consider them criminals, and I think the US legal system is up to the job of dispensing with them.
