That has been covered here extensively, bottom line LTC West was not in a position to determine the legal status of the prisoner. LTC West's standing orders were to treat all prisoners the same, the JAG and NCA determines special categories such as spy.

Well then the critics are right in saying that our solders have one hand tied behind their back. I for one do not give a rats backside what their legal status is. This is not a court room and a person wearing a uniform that says that they are on our side and turn out to be otherwise is enough for me. It is this same BS that stopped a Predator from putting a hellfire up Mullah Omar's tailpipe.

Now that is a strategy I love. Send all our lawyers to Iraq. No sacrifice to great for the national honor. They can fight terrorists with writ petitions.
