We stopped waterboarding when they ruled we were not to do it. Other than that, they really only ruled that we needed to charge the detainees with something, not that what we were doing was a violation of any treaty. Europe is more than happy to let the US carry the load. What would the outcry be if a US citizen was picked up in the mountains fighting an insurgency after doing something like blowing up Parliament. I would wager there would be little outcry if they were being waterboarded. I say we need to follow the law. Up until 2006 we were doing just that with the enhanced interrogation methods. Now that the law has changed, that is what will be followed. US citizens always were, and continue to be, entitled to all the same protections under the law they have always enjoyed.
