The biggest question about Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, and other Gitmo prisoners nobody talks about:
Are they lawful combatants?
If they are... and the war is over, the warring party is obliged to release the POW as per Geneva convention, which USA is a signatory of.
USA is also a signatory of the first protocol, which extends the Geneva convention to irregular combatants, including people fighting in proxy wars, and guerilla forces.
By militarily, and materially supporting the Saudi regime against its people, USA has became a legit target in the conflict, and extended jus in bello to the attackers.
K.S.M. may well walk out of the courtroom.
