Sure, everyone imprisoned is a prisoner under international law, but I assume Susan is aiming her comment at an america-centric audience.
I think large enough parts of Lemmy get the disproportionate news titling from "credible" news orgs such as NYT reading along the lines of "30 dead in Gaza building collapse" vs. "2 mothers brutally murdered in Tel Aviv during new wave of terror bombing"
Are we really going to knitpick on Susan for calling them "not prisoners" because they're not imprisoned like the average peacetime prisoner: with at least a resemblance of a due process?
