#1 What about the argument that the Convention Against Torture applies regardless of Geneva Convention status?

#4 VAMark, I know it will make you squeamish, but torture is a relative term. What the IRC deems as torture are common interrogation techniques by most countries. FYI, most bad guys will not answer your question simply because you say “pretty please.” Sleep deprivation, loud music and isolation are all interrogation techniques used by most ‘civilized’ countries. If we have a serious bad ass, they might employ harsher methods such as water-boarding. Contrary to popular belief these methods are effective in getting information and do not cause permanent harm to the detainee. IMHO they could use any method they want to extract any scrap of information that might save one life (especially American). Gonzales has done nothing wrong and this is merely a Dhimi side-show that will gain them nothing. Most Americans support the current interrogation methods used and the Dhimis are about to find that out the hard way.
