Should have played it 'straight' with Gitmo from the outset - a POW Camp. All prisoners being exactly that - with a legal code drafted to clarify the status of non-state combatants as our legacy law of armed conflict protocols deal only with nation-state conflicts. We have to adapt our legal framework as well as fight within it. Gitmo serves a valuable purpose, but its reputation has been corru[ted by the absence of a clear legal framework that gives us the tools we need to fight this new type of enemy.
