The camp was not designed for prisoners of war (POWs), but rather for captured civilian agents (spies). The Geneva Convention relates only to POWs and so did not apply to Camp 020, nor was it listed by the Red Cross.

The 1940s Guantanamo?

Are not terrorists also by definition captured civilian agents rather than POWs?

>>>captured civilian agents

That’s what I thought enemy combatant meant.
