No. Absolutely not.
Because of who we are, because of what we stand for.
It doesn't matter that "everyone else does it". Who gives a shit what they do? We didn't get to be the country that we are by doing what everyone else does... and to torture someone and then go haywire when our own POWs from the upcoming war get tortured would be more than a bit hypocritical, wouldn't it?
We don't *expect* our POWs not to get tortured if we don't do it, but it sure does give us a leg up if we can say "we did not torture *your* POW..."

Sleep deprivation? Sure - that won't hurt him. Truth serum? Go for it, pump the fucker up. If it won't hurt him, do it.
Beating on him, putting him in pain, cutting off appendages... hell no.

That's not who we are.
And when one of the main reasons we're going into Iraq is because of human rights (Saddam killing and torturing his own people) and we are trying to say that our efforts will "save" them from that... then torturing anyone is the most hypocritical bullshit thing we can do.
