They are not. The insurgent forces are viewed by the Bush administration as elements of the former government of Iraq - which is a high contracting party to the Conventions.

Obviously, if these wives were harboring their husbands, we would have to kidnap them to try to get their husbands to turn themsevles in - they'd be at the house when we went to pick up the wife. You can't harbor someone who you aren't harboring.
Apparently they were gone to market at the time. Evading 6-26 is probably an underwear-intensive operation. The fat that the detention order was predicated on the wife being present at the time of the raid tends, IMO, to support the fact that her cooperation with his activities were under definite suspicion.
