Basically, as far as I'm concerned, the Afghan detainee situation boils down to armed abduction and illegal detention. Sure, if we believe everything that we're told, they aren't being tortured, they are being well looked after and it's generating good intel. But it's no better than North Korea abducting the few dozen Japanese a couple of decades ago.

Exactly. And it gives very ugly black eye to the public image of intervention that most of the world (myself included) considered justified.

But current administration is generally not very fond of international treaties, is it?
