"We did treat captured Iraqi army soldiers as prisoners of war and I'm sure they've all been released long ago." But the same wasn't true of ones captured in Afghanistan. About 3 countries recognized the Taliban as a legitimate govt. We werent one of those. Why should we have? Furthermore many of the detainees from Afghanistan werent even Afghani. BTW we only have about 400 such folks in detention in Guantanamo. "But are we practicing torture? I know leftists claim so but it seems we aren't." And you base this on, what exactly? Waterboarding, for example, is hard to describe as anything but. I base it on an absence of evidence. "NSA spying on int'l calls should be ok," It is as long as they get a court order. That is the law. I don't think we need court orders for int'l calls. Did we have a court order to listen in on Japanese coded messages?
