One more thing I don't get is where the US are holding the regular army prisoners? There must have been an army in Afghanistan, they can't have been protected by Al Qaeda.

Actually, since some prisoners were already released a while ago, these people do have a chance of getting out if they're innocent. Just don't go assuming they are just because they're kids... If they are innocent, they'll probably tell the US investigators all they know, and they'll be released quickly; if they shut up, or don't cooperate, there's a good chance they're either stupid, or guilty. (And please remember that this is not a normal criminal we're talking about, with all the associated rights. They do *not* have the right to remain silent; well, they do, but it'd be stupid.)
And the "regular army" were the Taliban. They're either still imprisoned in Afghanistan, or were released after most of the fighting ended... or they're still fighting a guerilla war.
