What wouldn't? Trying, convicting (based on the evidence), and then, after they've been legally incarcerated, questioning them using legal and proven techniques of questioning... that wouldn't be torture, and it's the smart way to go because we don't embolden our "enemies" by giving them an incredibly powerful recruiting tool.
What do you suppose happens if the detainees come back home and say, "They treated me with respect, they tried me on the evidence, and I was found innocent and allowed to come back to my family"? Do you think that would make them hate us more or maybe rethink their position on the evil Americans?
