There is a difference between execution and torture. There is a difference between finding someone, in plain clothes, lets say.. setting a bomb, and shooting them on the spot, than from taking that person in to torture them for no apparent reason other than to torture them. Because as Ustwo said, what information could we possibly get from them that is useful? If we're not torturing them for information, why are we doing it? Just for kicks? Just for amusement?
And also, i don't think anyone said that it was ok for Saddam or the Vietnamese or the North Koreans to torture, string up, or otherwise disfigure anyone. If "these lawyers" had the chance I'm damn sure they would throw those who committed these acts into prison, or have them put to death.
