It's not about being 'nice' to terrorists. It's about not blurring the lines between the good guys and bad guys. It's about not adding to the new generation of Islamic militants the intelligence community is telling us have been created by this illegal war. Even if you don't care about what torture does to 'terrorists,' do you care about what torture does to us? Picking and choosing which international law to obey is the surest way to undermine 'higher morality' -- the only truly effective weapon we have in an unconquerable world.
