And the determination that the conventions do not apply to them is a process that is covered by the conventions. And today we got a ruling saying the process we followed didn't conform to the conventions' requirements.

That doesn't mean the terrorists are suddenly covered by Geneva (at least I haven't seen that they ruled that), but that the determination of whether they are covered or not was done improperly.

Is that clearer?
