Like I said in my post, you can't be really classified as a POW under the Geneva Convention unless you are part of a military force of a recognized nation. Terrorism doesn't have a nation, and therefore they don't recieve the same rights granted under international law granted to actual military servicemen. Enemy combatants pretty much the same thing. There really isn't a definition for "legitimate resistance" or any laws for how they should be treated if captured. That's why I say the Geneva Convention needs to be revised to fit the modern situation.
