the law should NOT be drastically different for anyone. Thats what the law is about, no discrimination or favoratism. The detention issue I could be in favor for, provided theres an official tribunal or hearing, with congressional oversight, to determine their status. Torture, however, is completely immoral and unethical. No amount of explanation or justification will ever legitimize it. Even as much as I'd like to see it done to zarqawi, it would still be wrong and we are supposed to be above that.
