Comes a time when all Americans have to realize that we are at war against a very vicious, inhumane Muslim/Arab enemy. We in America like to believe that we treat prisoners humanely unlike the people you hate. This is both ethical and moral. The argument against the treatment at Guantanamo is that we are not following the Geneva convention as we are obliged to do. Bush is trying to use a spurious legal argument to get around Geneva. Very ingenuous. There are three solid reasons for treating prisoners well: 1) Decent treatment ENCOURAGES our enemies to surrender or switch allegiances. 2) Decent treatment ENCOURAGES decent treatment of our soldiers, although it doesn't guarantee it. 3) Decent treatment is what we do to not lower ourselves to their level. No maybe you think it's OK to lower yourself to their level but decent American's will disagree with you.
