Not my problem - fortunately. The base bottom line probably is...
Is the US going to be a state which permits torture and inhumane treatment - of anyone?
Is the Geneva Convention going to be another treaty which the US has ratified and cannot comply with?
If so, other nations can play that game as the occasion arises and, in the end, there is a payback time. There is a choice in this - and little room for complaint or cooperation from other nations if there is an adoption of the "ways of a terrorist".
