The real argument is whether they are illegal combatants.

Even if we accept that they are illegal combatants (and are thus not covered by the Geneva Convention), they're not being treated equivalently to other criminals held in the USA. The way in which they are being treated (blackout goggles, no access to legal representation, etc.) is a flagrant breach of international human rights law.
