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...?
Technically terrorists are not covered by the Geneva Conventions. Whatever rights we have granted them, we have done it because we ARE better than they are or the state governments that assist them.

We also do not torture "snuffy the infantry man". What country are we at war with that would have infantry men? Infantry soldiers of other countries are covered by the Geneva Convention. We are not at war with any country.
