>That's something that court may decide. If court decides that he is not a terrorist, and that his military actions were in strict compliance with Geneva Convention, then he is a plain POWs and should be hold in detention until the war ends. What do you think about this?
>Please, note that many of these guys don't mind blowing up civilians in both Iraq and Afghanistan; at least civilian casualties from bombing are much higher in these places.

Court? What court? A big part of the objection to the treatment of these guys is they have been stashed away for years without charges even being brought. If they are tried and convicted of terrorism, throw away the key. Nobody is in favor of terrorists. But the executive branch of the government can't just declare them guilty by fiat. Charge 'em or kick 'em loose.
