I should have expected smartass answers from you fuckers. I'm actually serious. As a signatory to the Geneva Convention, what are the reprecussions when we don't follow it? Are there monetary penalties, are we kicked out, trade restrictions, etc.? The Iraqi insurrgents are going to do whatever they're going to do regardless of a treaty that they aren't a signatory to, but I'm wondering more about the rest of the world and what it means in the long term.

Again a serious question - is that because you believe that it's possible to get authentic information out of torture or because you see it as payback?
