Acknowledging that Al Qaeda doesn't come under the rules of the Geneva Convention doesn't equate to a policy of torture. It is simply FACT. The Geneva Convention rules came about as a treaty between nations who signed on that said.....there will be certain rules we agree to abide by concerning your military personnel that we capture.....and vice versa. The thought being that they would all be treated with a certain amount of care as long as those rules were abided by.

Not so with Al Qaeda. They did not sign. They had no intention of following any such rules. And we were not bound by them in this case either. Nor should we be. This is not to say that that means we have a policy in place to torture. But I can guarantee you that if they capture a guy they know has knowlege of an upcoming attack, not too many people are going to condemn them if they have to get a bit rough to get the information. I know that I certainly don't. If wearing them down by making them stand on one foot while holding jugs with their arms extended does the trick....then more power to them!!
