have the afghan fighters signed up to the geneva conventions? do they have any way of keeping prisoners secure for the duration of the occupation?

this has to be borne in mind before invading a country and whatever the enemy's actions the US cannot relax their own regard for human life in a world where they are claiming the moral high ground. it doesn't matter how badly the enemy act, the criticisms of the conditions in guantanamo and movements of prisoners to foreign countries for torture are still valid. necessary even.
