Why should we be compassionate of people whose stated goal is to kill every last one of us? What bothers me is that there are a lot of soft-headed people in this country who are so far out of touch with reality that they refuse to recognise that some people really are evil.

Yes. In the USA and in Iraq.
Your argument that everyone in that prison who was tortured was guilty, and therefore deserved to be tortured, is sad on several levels. It's really disappointing to me that (i'm assuming) a USA citizen wouldn't see the problem here.
Many of the people in the prison were just rounded up during sweeps. The USA let hundreds go last week. They are letting hundreds go again this week.
Not everyone in prison is guilty, even in the USA. There are many cases of people being executed for crimes they did not commit.
In any even, even if people are criminals, they should not be tortured. Everyone is entitled to due process and freedom from torture, and the USA has signed international agreements to this effect.
