Locking up of prisoners does not make torturing them legal. As for the Supreme Court, please provide the link pertaining to torture being legal. The U.S. does not torture! Period! Only someone that gets a perverse sort of gratification would condone this. Unfortunately, there are people that consider thmeselves patriotic citizens of this country find excuse for what this gang of thugs have done. Where are the 17 Saudis that were involved in 9/11? You know the Saudis, the people that have a royal family that Bush is in bed with. Where's Osama bin Laden?
Locking up prisoners is not torture..
The US does to torture, it has since the beginning of time, or dont you consider those being burned alive by the Clintons torture? The ground rules are we just dont torture in countries covered by the Geneva Convention.
The Geneva Convention limits our ability to torture "prisoners of war",
Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/91.htm - broken link)
As anyone knows, enemy combatants are not "prisoners of war"..
If your going to argue facts, please be informed. Arguments based upon the feelings that the US should not torture does not change the fact that we can, do, and always have either tortured directly, or we have contracted this out to other countries to do it for us..
You mean the evidence that was compiled going back to the Clinton administration, or are you going to be a partisan kook and believe that Bush lied and made it all up?
For the very same reason I supported Bush at the time...we were lied to!
I donn't know about you , but when someone lies to me, especially about something of such gravity, I will not trust them ever again and support their being brought to justice. The Bush criminal administration showed us who they are...believe them!

I stated that locking up a prisoner and torturing them are two different things. The United States does not torture POW's or enemy combatants. As a matter of fact The WTC was supposed to be treated as a crime scene, not a declaration of war and it was not.
If you were well read and informed you would know that torture does not work anyway.
