State Department cable with talking points addressing the concerns of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. The cable states that the Working Group does not have a mandate or the competence to make an accurate assessment of the U.S. detention and treatment policies concerning illegal and unlawful combatants. The cable highlights the opinion of other international organizations and foreign governments that regard the Taliban and Al-Qaeda as committing criminal and terrorist acts and therefore not subject to the Geneva Conventions and not Prisoners of War (POWs).
