        The terrorists held in Guantanamo bay aren’t eligible for POW status under the Geneva convention as they don’t/didn’t fight under a uniform, committed human rights abuses themselves and embedded themselves in the civilian population instead of distinguishing themselves from it.

        The detainees are given military trials and are not subjected to torture, the definition of torture being something that leaves lasting damage to a prisoners body. Waterboarding, stress positions and other interrogation techniques used deliberately don’t harm this rule.

        The official definition of torture is : 1.0 The action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or in order to force them to do or say something. Source : Dictionary

        Compared to the lashings and actual drownings that often occur in the east waterboarding and stress positions is far more controlled and less dangerous, and in the pursuit of information that could save lives the call is hard to make, just like anything in a presidency.
