The level of ignorance in making such statements is shocking, even for you.
First, and its a shame you need this pointed out to you, criminals we pick up in the US are NOT soldiers fighting against our government/police/military.
There is a reasonable expectation that a person in the US has fingerprints, a Social Security number, Birth Certificate or other form of identification on record and readily available to the investigators. Finding friends, employers, family members, criminal records and other relevant information is equally likely to be readily available.
Little to NONE of that is available to our troops in the field or those operating detention camps. (we operate more camps than just Gitmo. The detainees in Gitmo are the worst of the worst and represent about 1/50th of those in custody... but to hear you tell it, Gitmo is THE detention camp and its filled with innocent farmers)
Logistically, do you have any comprehension how many non-police/military support personnel would be necessary for to us to treat those we pick up on the battlefield to the same rights and procedures we give suspected criminals inside the US? No, you clearly do not.
You claim the things we did were morally wrong... but you're incapable of delineating the specifics of this "morality".... just as you're incapable of outlining specific techniques you would allow for interrogations... and the few things you do provide completely ignore reality and the limitations we are up against.
Lastly... You didn't comment on Rendition. If its "Morally" wrong for us to "torture" people by waterboarding them... are we morally justified in turning those same people over to our allies who sever limbs, crush bones and impose horrible, unimaginable, disfiguring and permanent pain or death?
