Since the Supreme court rubber stamped the legality of Military Tribunals during Afghanistan.
I think the official US stance on this is that "Enemy Combatants" have no rights, period. Not as prisoners of war, not as citizens of whatever country they hail from, not even as US citizens. The most chilling aspect of this is that the right of the executive branch to declare someone an 'enemy combatant' has not been questioned, and once you hve that status, you have no further rights. It's a formula for making people disappear.
