OK, You probably have not read the Seymour Hersh article. Many of these prisoners were detained for ambiguous reasons at roadblocks for "information." That is "information" obtained by torture. Even if these prisoners were throwing grenades, torture is unlawful, inhumane, immoral. Sickening.
Also remember, nazi war criminals were executed for acts commited in occupied territories. Among those crimes: torturing and executing partisans, or as the Nazis liked to call them, "terrorists."
