Why not waterboard murder suspect or burglary suspects since it works?

Are you trying to state that people captured without uniform on the battlefield are the same as citizens arrested in the country? I see a great difference between the two and between what rights they each might be entitled to. For example, the Geneva convention allows us to execute on the spot fighters that are not in uniform. I don't want the police to have that power over citizens.

I didn't see that qualifier in what Trump said. He just said terror suspects, so I assumed he meant terror suspects here. And he didn't say foreign terror suspects so I assume he meant all suspects, foreign and U.S. citizens. And if it works and he's doing it here then why not on all suspects for all crimes?
