"Still a Nation of Laws, Not Men?" by Nat Hentoff (Cato Institute: Commentary): "Moreover, Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which has been made part of our law, requires that any person — whether a prisoner of war, unprivileged belligerent, terrorist or noncombatant, is guaranteed freedom from 'cruel treatment and torture' and 'outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment,' including denial of process in case of trial.
These guarantees, Mr. President, apply 'in all circumstances' and 'at any time and in any place whatsoever.'"
