That is a factual statement based on evidence and convictions from Abu Ghraib, and based on the signed affadavits of at least 3 Australians from Guantanamo Bay, and countless others.

You say this like it is a bad thing. If tortureing prisoners will save the lives of civilians or active soldiers for that matter , I say the black wire on the car battery is negative and the red one positive. Would you condem tortureing prisoners if you knew it could have prevented 9/11/01? Results are what realy matter in the end. The ends don't need to justify the means. If it saves even one life then the ends realy don't need any justification. The enemy should never be given any comfort or succor when there is a war going on. If they weren't on the battlefield in the first place they wouldn't have been captured. It isn't like the Coalition troops went to Mr. Hicks house and kidnapped him in front of his wife and kids.
