I admire your hold on idealism but the "hope if we abided by the Geneva agreements or non-torture for captureds, so would other countries that might capture our young men and women." ship has sailed. They even behead and kill correspondents.
NOBODY WANTS any torture at any time. If the memos showing the results from the hard life these killers lived is ever made public perhaps folks will feel different.
I just find it interesting the way we seem to "rationalize" the killing of any innocents from the drones but are standing tall in defense of the Geneva Convention and being mean to killers of americans !
