Danny:
I don't think US considers Bin Laden or any other war detainees as POW's.
This is the US justification.
What about that asshole captured a few weeks ago?.
Media flashed his photos up fairly quick.
If Saddam were captured I guarantee the US would have his ass up all over the news...
They would just label him a "war Criminal" not a POW, to justify their actions.
Their rules, their system, their lawyers.
