Violence only begets more violence. And who do you think stands more to lose ? They are fanatics, those who potentially might avenge them could do even more damage.

Firstly, Justice for those who tortured these men ( I don't care what you think about them, NOBODY deserves water boarding or any other sensory deprevation treatment, it's a mindset no better than your enemie's)
Secondly, Justice for those people who can actually be proven to have had a hand in these ordeals, not just suspected and then tortued into confession.
As for revenge? No, not really. Will their deaths end terrorism? Will it provide closure to those who lost people on 9/11?
Probably not. This whole thing is a dog and pony show anyway.

So punish the jailers for torturing the murderers? That doesn't make sense. Thats like the burgler who sues the owner of the home he broke into because he slipped on a rollerskate while breaking in.
What? No No, it's not like that.
You can't compare a break in, to torture. That's an international crime, and the people who said that it was a good idea, and authorized it, should be brought to the Hague, and put on trial, for War Crimes.
Do you really think you can claim the moral high ground when you engage in the same kind of despicable acts as your enemy?
You think that helps the situation? Or does it only encourage further enemies?
I think it's the last one.
