This doesn't have to be a bad thing. As much as we'd like to see these beasts tortured thoroughly, I think it's worthwhile to show the world that the US still expects its soldiers to maintain their humanity.
It also says that we believe our way is the best way, and we don't have to stoop to ugly methods to maintain our freedoms.
Finally, for the serious people working for us in the field, these new standards won't prevent them from doing their jobs. Those guys usually don't work with an audience, anyway. It's really not a bad thing that the US goes on record saying that we don't accept torture as a policy.

Aw, that's okay. This means that the AQ guys get to be handed over to the Shin Bet.

Not nice.

We are already on record that we don't accept torture. Read the damn thing ... would prohibit "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment"

TAKE NO PRISONERS - end of problem!
