We are talking about extreme circumstances in a time of war. Exceptions are easily made in times of war.

There may be a few low level enemy combatants mistaken for high level officers who were tortured, that is simply an unfortunate event. Wars are nasty and they will never be completely civilized.

I'm not saying all information gained from torture is legitimate, however, some of it surely is. Innocent until proven guilty deals with American courts, it isn't required to carry over to war tribunals and war prisoners.

They aren't protected by our laws and Constitution.
