Are you arguing for hiring Sadam's goons? They seemed to be very efficient in getting information out of prisoners.
O wait. We can't hire Sadam's goons. Because, they are BAD people.
I don't recall Iraqi prisoners being electrocuted, burned, exploded, run thru wood chippers, or having their tounges cut out while in American custody. Having this argument is in itself an illustration of newly acquired rights of Iraqis. In the past, they'd just vanish. It does not excuse inappropriate(who decides) treatment of enemy combatants, but it also illustrates the urgency for transitioning of powers to the Iraqi people.
The world is not just Mother Theresa on one end and Saddam on the other. That's not a moral relativism excuse either. Just because you're not in Mother Theresa's camp does not imply you are in Saddam's.
