Actually, they won't be treated as POWs. The Geneva conventions require you to fight in the open, and have a recognizable uniform in order to be eligible to treated as a PoW.

I wonder if this means they'll be treated as common criminals and plain ol' terrorists.

I would hope that they not be treated as POWs but POS's.
