Doesn't it matter to you that we allow our justice system to proceed without the poison of tortured "confessions"?
As I see it, granting prisoners their rights ensures greater accuracy and real accountability, for both citizens and non-citizens, and only enhances our national and international credibility at a time when both are sorely lacking. When we start making distinctions about which humans have more "rights" than others we start down a pretty nasty slippery slope.
