Right...... that would be a great example set by what is supposed to be forefront nation of democracy for the entire world and it would also contribute to the USA's already sterling approval rating among the rest of the world.
The worst thing the US could do in that region is look like hypocrites (they already look stupid with the whoel Guantanimo Bay thing). "We are bringing democracy, fair justice and equality under the law; but for the time being, lets unlawfully hold hostages, torture them, and threaten to kill them on video cassette and send it off to their friends and family"
Hopefully you are never in charge at any government level with that attitude.
