My understanding is that "enemy comabatant" is a term coined by the Dubya
administration as a convenient way of referring to people that the admin
found inconvenient. Since no war has been formally declared, the US can
(nominally) claim not to be subject to the Geneva convention regarding
prisoners of war, but since Dubya has all but delared that the war on terra
will last indefinitely, these de facto prisoners of war can be held
indefinitely. Very nice.
