A Secretly Detained American Has Asked for a Lawyer – But Gov Won’t Give Him One
Enemy combatant "held without charges" sounds a lot like any vanilla prisoner of war.So they took in some POWs, one says "no, wait, I'm really one of you, just kidding about the shooting and stuff" and the military needs some time to figure out whether normal rules of war apply in this case. Hard to get too worked up over this, if you ask me.
