Entry: Who Guards the Guardians? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_guards_the_guardians#29828 Post contents: Christopher Roach: "and they also are a non-state actor which is a prerequisite to lawful combatant status." I recall from reading Geneva that it extends protection to guerilla/insurgent forces who wear uniforms or other identifying insignia. This might conceivably apply to some Taleban fighters. I think the big problem though is one of identification; holding unlawful enemy combatants is fine, but holding men who might be innocent in indefinite detention is legally questionable.
