Ah, but then we're not talking about terrorists, because officially Pakistan does not support terrorism, so they certainly wouldn't give them uniforms. India is of course totally against terrorism (*cough*), as is China. Any other third world country I missed? Oh yeah, North-Korea... I have never seen a North-Korean Islamic terrorist yet.

Face it, Dude, these people in Afghanistan were probably *not* wearing official colors, nor were they upholding the Geneva convention. Therefore, they are not POWs subject to said convention.
Earlier posts in the thread have already pointed out that Taliban members (who are/were members of Afghanistan's government) are being held in detention. Every media picture I've seen clearly indicates all of those Taliban members were wearing a recognizable uniform.
