JF, What's the exact difference between a relativist and a partisan anyway? Not much when you're just a "selective relativist." Nothing wrong with being a partisan, either. Some issues you just have to be partisan about. Only problem is when partisans start relying on hyperbole to make their point. Then it just becomes dogmatism, which leaves little room left for discussion. As for torture, yeah, I think Gitmo interrogators shouldn't be using extreme temperatures on prisoners while denying them food and water. Maybe we also shouldn't put so much pressure on said interrogators to get information that will help in the war on terrorism, for then they'll be tempted to toe the line WRT the Geneva Convention. But when it comes to comparing said torture tactics with those used in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, that helps no one but our enemies, since the effort to win the hearts and minds of the Middle East will be compromised.
