Is torture a violation of the Geneva Convention, or is it not?

You seem to find it convenient to cherry pick bits of the scene--we are at war, but the other side are rag tag terrorists. So we can operate on the rules of war, flat-out effort, but we can treat them as covert operatives and not soldiers because they don't wear uniforms. Therefore we can torture them at will without fear of legal recrimination. Is that the deal?
