"the same rights"?
You REALLY didn't read the Geneva Convention close enough.
You are REALLY missing the big picture here...

There is a reason why the Bush administration is trying damned hard to not give these people the title "POW". It's because if they WERE classified as POWs and being treated as they are now, it would be a blatant violation.

Tell me if the Geneva Convention allows POWs to be held indefinitely.
Tell me how the Geneva Convention treats POWs and charges against the POWs, with trials.
Read the post right before this where I have evidence that is pulled directly from the Geneva Convention. POWs do not get trials without commiting war-crimes.
