Yes, and let's look at the nature of that "torture." As Amnesty International has detailed, it included playing culturally offensive music at high volume to detainees. Now, if it were the collected hits of Barry Manilow, I would agree that torture was involved. And if the interrogation involved any songs sung by Yoko Ono, I agree that the interrogators should be locked up for life.

Seriously, the Gitmo detainees have been handled far better than most in their status throughout history. Under the Law of War, in existence for at least five centuries, some of these detainees qualified for being shot on sight, like spies. The writer is both off base, and probably bigoted.

Some, Congressman? I haven't seen a uniform or a recognized command structure yet. I'm no fan of torture, but if these "people" are in anything better than an open-air pen, they're ahead of the game.
