Nuke, I have to disagree with you. It's not "worth it". It does matter how we treat captives. We, as a people, have to be able to look in the mirror every morning and know that we don't stoop to the savageness of the fanatical Islamists. The brutality of that Saddam regime, the mass graves, the maiming of soccer players, etc. is exactly a big part of our justification for being there, however flawed that justification may be. I do the type of things he did, we have no moral ground to stand on.
