According to Mr. Rumsfeld in the initial interview posted on this thread, "He is being accorded the protections of a prisoner of war and his treatment will be governed by the Geneva Convention."
So, that means apparently YES he is considered a PoW for now.
Also, it disheartens me when people use the "they did it first" excuse to justify their actions. The point at which we give up our moral highground is the point we become no better than they are. Possibly even worse, because it *was* preemptive.
