re: #44 reine.de.tout

I don’t want to speculate on how well it would or would not work.

I have a suspicion that there are those who will torture Americans for no other reason than they want to torture an American.

Exactly. And the other side of that is, if torture is allowed, there will be American servicemen who will torture a captive for no other reason then to just torture. War can change a person, and not always for the better.
