You'll know if I start comparing naked humiliation to beheading videos because that's what I'll write. I didn't say we were becoming the enemy, just that we're failing to live up to our own stated ideals (you know, the freedom that the terrorists hate us for...).
Besides, if it is as black-and-white as you suggest, it shouldn't be too difficult to get some indictments to go with our detentions. That's a freedom that we get as citizens of the US, and I can't think of why it would be unreasonable to give it to others as a matter of course. Of course, if it IS too difficult to produce evidence that will lead to legal proceedings, then maybe we ought to let those guys go. Until then, we're just imprisoning people because we think they MIGHT have done something wrong, and we're not even bothering to try to justify that action.
