Let me get this straight...
Not following the rules that say "Don't torture" doesn't mean we're going to torture?
Then what, exactly, does it mean? We're not going to follow the rules but we're not going to break them anyways?
I have a hard time believing that. We either are following international law or we are not. They wouldn't say that they aren't going to follow the Geneva convention if they weren't going to take advantage of the fact.
