They are going to complain about 'torture' and mistreatment either way. So why actually intentionally torture or mistreat them then?

Do you suppose any of the people detained mught ever be innocent? Wouldnt that mean torturing innocent people?

To GET INTELLIGENCE TO PREVENT THE MURDER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE, that's why. You don't think people interrogate the terrorists, just to pass the time, do you?!
Torture is not part of United States military standard operating procedures, especially the strict SOP followed at Guantanamo. The SOP already included concessions to the terrorsts' mohammedan beliefs, special meals, etcetera. What do you want? Are you a follower of Dick Durbin who called our fine soldiers "Nazis?"
This bill was absolutely unnecessary, because we have always outlawed torture.
Now, state and document your evidence that the U.S. military "actually intentionally torture or mistreat" terrorist prisoners?
And why not "mistreat" them? That is standard operating procedure in ALL U.S. prisons. What dream world do you live in?!
