Now of course Geneva Convention and Rule of Law doesn't seem to mean as much as it did a long, long time ago (about pre-Trump that is), and my understanding of the laws and rules might be faulty, but ... ...
Syria has an official, legal and recognised government under Pres. Assad. As such shouldn't any foreign forces fighting in Syria report back to Pres. Assad? Any captured militants handed over to the official, legal government for 'processing'? Wouldn't it be illegal to just take those individuals and transport them to other countries, a bit like 'trafficking'?
Keep in mind that the 'Gitmo lodgers' were captured when there was no legal government (or at least none recognised as such).
I'm really surprise to see the comment of Gen Lord Dannatt, the former British Army chief going into "of course the British ISIS fighters should face justice in Britain". Mind you, maybe Dannatt knows more about the appropriate laws than I do
