The problem is that these people are not POWs. The are civilians. As such they are not covered under the Geneva Convention. To make matters worse many of the torturers aren't military personel. Many of them are "civilian contractors" i.e. mercenaries

The people being held in this prison are not combatants at all. They are civilians picked up by US troops.

The whole situation is fucked up.
