Torture of unlawful enemy combatants does not violate any of the Geneva or

subject.
You really should learn before you speak.


Article 3 of the third Geneva Convention states -

................

In the case of armed conflict not of an international character
occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each
party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the
following provisions:

1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members
of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de
combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all
circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction
founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any
other similar criteria.

What part of persons taking no active part in the hositlities are
you missing. These are not people who have laid down arms (indeed many
actively tell their interrogators that they will be more than happy to
come back and do nasty things in the name of Allah), are not hors de
combat as evidenced by attacks on guards, etc. .
