There are 3 reasons why the US treatment of their prisoners is wrong.

A) The information you get from torture is worth very little.

B) What you do to others, others do to you. You have just set the standards for what it is ok to do to US militarymen caught in combat.

C) It's just plain wrong and barbaric. When I did my military time they drilled us HARD about what we could and could not to do POWs. I'm sad the US doesnt live up to the standard set by themselves.
