Sowell, in what cases should we not torture people? Many of these people did absolute nothing, except exist at a certain place and time, but were tortured as if they were the key to all the ills the US faces.

it is a fact of life that when a countyy controls or wins a war, their war criminals are not prosectured. However, the losers war criminals are prosecuted (BTW, youer example of soldiers executing opposing spies is a false example - that is allowed by convention and is not a war crime). That is the situation now. the CIA clearly commited war crimes, even in the strictest sense. It is quite clear that those crimes added nothing significant to our knowledge of terrorism and actually caused more terrorism as a backlash....
