Question: was the torture used at the Iraqi prison a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

That's the second question, John. The first question is, "were the prisoners at the Iraqi prison subject to the Geneva Convention?" From the looks of things, they were "armed combatants," not in uniform. And were not. Does that justify the nonsense done to them? No. But it changes the frame of the questions.
