Red Cross urges Bush to label detainees POWs
The Red Cross told President Bush that Taliban and al Qaida detainees must be treated as prisoners of war under Geneva Conventions. The White House says only Taliban members at Guantanamo receive humane treatment and applies POW status to no terrorist group. Rumsfeld cited lack of military organization and uniforms as disqualifiers for POW status. The ICRC plans further legal review while UN bodies react cautiously to the policy.

Afghan leader Hamid Karzai vowed Friday that Afghanistan will not rest until terrorism is defeated and said prisoners will be screened to prevent release of terrorists. He noted thousands detained in Afghan prisons, many Afghans, others from Pakistan and beyond, with some in horrific conditions. The United States has also transferred al Qaeda and Taliban prisoners to a U S base in Cuba. Karzai spoke in Pakistan, insisting detainees who pose no danger will be freed, while those who are dangerous remain for handling.
