We didn't need "clarifications" to treat Japanese prisoners, even though the Japs attacked us out of the blue and we feared they were planning sabotage on the West Coast. But then, our moral code was higher back then. That was before abortion and porn and gay rights (notice that two of those cultural depravities - porn and gayness - were part of the abu grab mistreatment; our military - the military of MacArthur, Washington, Grant and Jackson - now takes porno pictures of captives. Sick. Apparently we need "clarifications" in Geneva Convention to permit this without the perpetrators being prosecuted.
