I fail to see the difference, enemy combatants, or uniformed military- either way their goal was to kill our soldiers in any way possible. That's just semantics.

I think it impossible for the US to claim the high moral ground when you stoop to torture. Despite what any diehard nationalist wants to believe, global perception and support is critical in this time.

If we're gonna play dirty, then fine, but then we can't claim to be better than them.
