I honestly don't care if it is torture or not.
I don't think constitutional protections should be extended to foreign nationals waging an illegal war against the US. Our body of laws is a pact between the people of the US and the government, there should be no assumption that those rights are extended to outside parties. I also do not think that Geneva convention rights should be extended to them either as they are illegal combatants. Once it was determined they were illegal combatants and they were questioned, they shold have been hung.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
