You remind me of the first time I masturbated and thought I discovered some "new thing no one else knew about"... this is 6 year old political rhetoric rehashed for 2016. Glad you discovered your new thing!

wiki: Combatants who break specific provisions of the laws of war are termed unlawful combatants. Unlawful combatants who have been captured may lose the status and protections that would otherwise be afforded to them as prisoners of war, but only after a "competent tribunal" has determined that they are not eligible for POW status (See, e.g., GC III Art 5.) At that point, an unlawful combatant may be interrogated, tried, imprisoned, and even executed for their violation of the laws of war pursuant to the domestic law of their captor.
