Congressmen aside, I think he should be tried because it's AMERICA who's holding him. I understand real americans might see the situation differently, but my trust for the US government has hit the bottom and started to dig. If some nation actually bothers to have a law that allows them to torture people, you can be pretty certain they are going to use it. And my personal opinion is that torture is irredeemably evil.
