"Detainees" in Cuba
US forces in Cuba are very clear that they do not label their Taliban and Afghan detainees as "prisoners"... Which is exactly what they are.
See... if they were "prisoners", then they would have all the rights the Geneva Convention outlines. Which they don't.
Funny though how Rumsfeld kept going on about the Geneva Convention during the Iraq war when US maintenance troops were being held captive by Iraqi forces.
What if the Iraqi forces decided to use the word "detainees" as well?
