Regardless of which side of the "it was torture, no it wasn't" argument you're on, the perception by our enemies and allies that we've engaged in torture is a threat to national security, and is counterproductive to the goals of the so called "war on terror."  Moreover, trying them in civilian courts, rather than in military one, poses the risk of leaking information to the enemy.


For once, I'll agree with Rick:  They should be POWs.  Additionally, they should always have been POWs.
