jep, and that would make him a criminal.
like I said either POW or criminal. No other status is needed.
What are the rights the a "Illegal combatant"? has, who has defined them? it there any kind of international treaty defining an "Illegal combatant"?
also, no matter what status he has, there is no justification for a constitutional state, ethically and lawfully, to just execute a prisoner. that would be a sign of the same barbarism that we claim to figth.
