They are not POW's and are not entitled to Geneva protections as such.  Calling them POW's would be a mistake.  The Geneva Conventions spell out what people must do in order to be protected under them.  No one we are fighting has done any of it. 


So far, changing the title will do nothing, since the President still has the power to do whatever he wants.  Obama has not changed anything. 


Further, we have not really mistreated prisoners.  Are there some examples?  Sure, but it is not a policy of the US.
