Does your definition differ?

No. Except for those who are treated as guilty because of current military necessity, who might in fact be NOT GUILTY.

That is a possibility, and, as such, provision should be made for just and fair treatment.

Do you have any problem with that?

And who decides whether someone is "NOT GUILTY"?

LOL....of course it's possible. But you do know that in war (and peace) "just and fair treatment" is difficult to achieve. For example, I'm sure there were Afghanis who where also "NOT GUILTY". But now, they're dead. Are you in the forefront of those who are demanding just and fair treatment for them as well? Frankly, I'm not. War isn't fair or just.

Do you have any problem with that?

From a theoretical standpoint, no. From a practical one, I don't see how you are going to accomplish it.
