I second George Sherwood's comments.

Also, you seem to be missing the point on why we treat the Gitmo prisoners
as we do: We don't want to be killed by terrorists. The international law
crowd have nothing to offer us for our own safety. Keeping terrorists
isolated and interrogating them for useful information both serve to make
us more secure.

I think the law should protect us. I do not support treaties and dubious
interpretations of international law that make us less secure.

Also, what is the point of setting an example that will not be followed in
any way that redounds to our benefit? I don't see the example that you
would have us make as being morally better than what we are currently
doing.
