At Abu Ghraib charges were brought and trials held for the people who did the torturing and guess what? People went to jail. It could be argued that they did not go high enough up the chain of command, but it happened. If Mr. Hicks has been tortured then shame on us and one day the guilty if any should be punished. I'll make this point one last time and then I'm done - he should be treated as a POW because he was captured bearing arms on the battlefield which means he should be held in prison for the duration of the conflict. If the war goes on for 30 years or more then it's tough shit for him! He doesn't deserve any sympathy and most certainly should not get a walk.
