so what happens to POW while the war is on?
 

and after? are they usually released or kept in some kind of isolation forever?

Released. The previous "Coalition" prisonners of the Gulf War were released. One was interviewd yesterday on the news.

interesting..so what about the afghans in guantanamo bay?

these won't be released :2 cents: They have no reason to be diplomatic once they see their government is finished...We'll have to find them and get them OR they'll be killed

why would they release them? lol

I don't even want to think about it... :(

so only the ones who can be 're-realeased into the wild and behave' will be the ones who go home and the radicals will be crushed?

I was just reading something that said the last 500 POWs from the Iran/Iraq War had finally been released... 14 years later?

Where did you get your information?

nah I was talking about the U.S. pow's in Iraq ... no way they are going to release them

I'm not digging for a link but American Gulf War POW's were released except for that Riker guy. They have no clue where he is or if he is still alive.
