A sign of the charm of the ruling is its underlining that it often depends on what side you are on. Some use words like "enemy combatant" to imply something inherently evil, but the opinion noted during WWII to Germany, our brave soldiers (it threw in that modifier to guard against cries of treason, I guess) were the enemy combatants. Our spies (at various times) "unlawful" per the laws of war. We still expected fair treatment of them ... adjectives don't change that.
