The same intimidation protocol would apply to the U.S. policy with regard to secret interrogation centres. The insurgents know they will be tortured and maybe killed, the public is given reassurances that 'we do not torture'.
Maybe the United States' answer to asymmetrical warfare is asymmetrical publicity?
