I think i did misunderstand, my apologies.
On the subject of being treated the same as any other military detainee:
He is, as far as i am aware the only detainee being held in Maximum custody and under Prevention of Injury watch. Every other detainee is being held in Medium Detention In and without POI watch restrictions.
There are big differences between max and medium detentions.
