Because they demand that the USA abide by what they signed agreeing to abide by?
Or because they outted the people who decided to ignore the rules?

As stated earlier, I am comfortable with making terrorists uncomfortable in order to save the lives of US soldiers and innocent people.

Obviously not answering the question.

so, lets make your statement perfectly clear. You feel perfectly fine with denying constitutional rights to anyone the government declares a terrorist.

Foreign terrorists don't have US Constitutional rights.

what treaty specifically said waterboarding

where in the US Constitution does it specify that non US citizens are not afforded rights?
and you dodged the question.

The definition used in the UN Resolution that we signed fits waterboarding very well.

I answered your irrelevant question in the best way possible: by clarifying my position accurately.
Are you asserting that the US Constitution applies to non-citizens of the US?

did we or did we not condemn waterboarding as torture when the Japanese used it?
did we or did we not prosecute Japanese officers who used waterboarding?

actually, no you didn't. I understand you need to be elusive now though.
Are you asserting that the US Constitution applies to non-citizens of the US?
the constitution applies to one entity and one entity only.

we did condemn and prosecute that specific type of waterboarding....what has that to do with me clarifying solitary's words that waterboarding is specifically mentioned in a treaty?

Are you trying to make a comparison betwixt the CIA's recent use of the technique on foreign terrorists with the Japanese technique on lawful soldiers during WW2?
Please tell me what, if anything, these two scenarios have in common.

they are both human beings. granted, one is a lower form of it, but that matters little.
