Any combatant that is not in a recognizable uniform is a illegal combatant.

I agree, the Tali-ban are acting like Illegal combatants. And they do not wear any uniform and probably would be more likely to cut an American soldiers head off then to take him prisoner.

I was just pointing out that the Tali-ban when they controlled Afghanistan did sign the Geneva conventions and when the Afghan war was over, the Tali-ban that were POW's were released to the Afghan government.
