Believe it or not there is good reasons why unlawful combatants aren't protected by some of the articles of the Geneva Convention.

Quite frankly, then, all this talk about whether the Geneva Convention applies to these particular prisoners is a bunch of evasive balderdash. There might be doubt about whether those in Guantanamo are part of a regular military force or a bunch or illegal irregulars. But they were taken by American regular military forces, and until their status is determined properly, the US is obligated to abide by the Geneva Protocols in its treatment of them.
