Rumsfeld already stated that the Geneva Convention applies to all prisoners held in Iraq.

The UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment refers to: "an act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person", for a purpose such as obtaining information or a confession, punishment, intimidation or coercion, "or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind".

It's clear to me. But of course it's not for those who want to circumvent the law.
