it's american soil, on cuba.
and i think cuba signed up to the geneva convention.  but i'm also
pretty sure that america did not sign up to the torture part. 

i had an interesting article from the guardian i think sent to me, which
basically called america a bunh of torturers over the fottage that was
shown.  i can try and dig it up if your interested.
