The problem is that the good physician wants to hold the U.S. to treaty positions that we have not ratified. We never promised to treat enemy combatants like prisoners of war. They have no rights under the Geneva Convention. Anyone who does not understand that has zero understanding of international law. We can legally treat enemy combatant captured in combat against U.S. or allied forces any way we like. In fact, President Bush and the rest of the administration have repeatedly promised "humane" treatment. Nobody has ever proved torture. Discomfort maybe, but not torture. A little induced fear perhaps, but not torture. We know what torture is. We do not engage in that stuff.
