Here's another thing. If humiliation is torture, when we engage Arabic cultures with cultural sensitivity we should not include women or Jews in our military. If we defeat them with the help of women or Jews, that would ultimately be very humiliating to them. (Well, the fundamentalists anyway.)

Under that logic we just can't fight them at all then ... unless we put up a force of only Muslim fighters, which we can't do because it would be discriminatory.

Okay. They win.

Oh wait ... they win just so long as people keep thinking this way ... I get it.

1) Prisoners have different rules than battlefield foes. You can't toss a grenade at prisoners, or spray them with a machine gun either.

2) Female or Jewish soldiers are incidental. Torture is personal.
