This is a non-isssue - the USA has killed plenty of American citizens who fought against America, the confederacy is one example. German Americans who fought for Hitler is another and American citizen pirates (a more fitting example in al-Qaeda's case).

I don't dispute what you wrote here.
But the issue is compared to the leftwingnuts insane pronouncements related to non lethal waterboarding, your DEFENSE of this action is hyterically funny, given the level of hypocrisy it represents.
btw, nobody believes you guys on the Left would be saying this if Bush had ordered it. Another amusing aspect to this 'non issue' as you call it.
We never tortured Nazis and Japanese POWs why would you want to torture an American prisoner? If water boarding works why don't you support it as part of America's police efforts? Get arrested and have the police water board until you confess to a crime......

I see. So we should just kill em?
If an American killed a POW in his custody he would be up on murder charges. POW Geneva conventions apply.
The human rights of prisoners both military and civilian are covered under several international treaties that the USA is signatory to as well as domestic laws.

Yep, and so far nobody has ruled 'waterboarding' to be illegal.
