Rape, and severe beatings that almost cause death are not "non-injurious technicques required to extract information". They're criminal acts, whether commited in a war zone or not. Sure certain interegation methods that aren't so pleasant have to be employed, but apparently the fox wasn't watching the henhouse and some of these GIs got a little to bigheaded with their authority and took things way too far. It hurts the whole war effort and hurts our standing in the world. Their superiors, knowing that this type of immoral conduct was very possible in a war zone, should have been on top of things and made clear what the limits were. It's a complete breakdown in leadership. Not a great mark on our country. We should be setting the standards high, not going down to people like Saddam's level. That is what we're supposedly there for after all. I thought conservatives believed in morality. I don't see how anyone can morally defend what was being done in those prisons in Iraq. It was criminal, not matter who was doing it and for what reason.
