This is where you lost me.

The Geneva Convention applies to combatants in Uniform and civilian non combatants.
It was designed to keep combatants in Uniform.
Combatants who are not in uniform can be treated in any way with no international laws governing them.

Read about POW's in WWII. We treated all POW's humanely.

Read about the treatment of our POW's by the Germans and especially the Japanese who did things worse than ISIS does.

You can't rationalize with irrational people. Read some history dumbass.

You realize that unless the words "treat captured infidels humanely" are written in the Qur'an, that ISIS won't do it? They don't see themselves as a traditional army, and they likely don't see what they do as something even close to any movements before them that led to war.

You believe many things that may be correct, but, this is not one of them.

Anyway, this is a non issue. POTUS already said that he will defer to SecDef's opinion on this matter.

I personally don't believe in torture unless somebody annoys me.

I've seen many many idiotic and naive posts on this board over the years, but this one may take the cake.

Have you ever studied any military history?

How long ago?

they suffer 'enhanced interrogation,' also known as torture, because their captors think they deserve it, they might learn something useful and maybe they can save lives on their side of the battle.

Idealistic statement and makes me think you are bullshitting or trolling. What branch and what combat have you seen again?
