The Geneva Conventions allow for the holding of unlawful combatants for the duration and they also allow for those unlawful combatants to be held incommunicado. You knew that right?

Why should they have Geneva convention protections at all!? Only because the court said so! They are illegal combatants! The Geneva convention should not apply to them AT ALL! The court has conferred Geneva convention protection on illegal combatants and the Bush administration recognized the courts jurisdiction to make such a decision!
