Not in
prison they're not.
Not in "an indefinite period of custody, without contact with their families, expectation of proceedings or a trial" (see UNICEF report), either.
Not without any independent observers at all allowed in to visit them (see ICRC), either.
Neither do sixteen-year olds here get water poured over them, then put into a car and driven through the very, very cold night, then smeared with mud - all just to pressure their father, mind you, without apparently having actually done anything themselves (see testimony by Sergeant Provance).
Doesnt happen in Britain or Spain either - terror attacks or no terror attacks.
The British troops dont do it in Iraq, either, as the MoD stated (while the Pentagon declined to answer).
So, that leaves your point being ...?
