Actually, that is exactly what I think should happen. And they ought to have a trial. At which they are innocent until proven guilty. And if they are proven guilty, then they should be punished - not tortured. And it should be wide open so that people can see that we know how to do this the right way.
I wouldn't claim that every (or maybe not even any) country follows the Geneva convention 10)% of that the time. But I would argue that they should. Always. To expect less of ourselves is a disservice to America, not to mention the prisoners we would be condemning to torture.
