In special cases maybe, but I think what's currently going on is a violation of the Geneva Convention and though most other countries don't adhere to it, I always thought that was what set us apart from them.. I thought America upheld and was held to a higher standard? Once again, I would have no problem waterboarding say Bin Laden or his top aids, but waterboarding snuffy the infantry man because he made an IED might be going overboard...?
I wonder how long it will take for laws to be passed that allow US citizens to undergo the same treatment under the "War on Terror" banner? without legal council or trial?
