Most of the western world hasn't treated POWs that way for a long time. And whatever you say, he is one.
Being attacked, he dared to fight the troops, and actually killed one!

Doing this not especially wicked, however he came into the situation. Try him for being a member of a terroritst organisation before an ordinary court, and consider how much autonomy the by-then 15-years old had over his choices. Killing an enemy soldier during a battle... bummer.

Furthermore, there's no way, he could have had serious information to hide that would at least be a fair end for a treatment that can't be justified anyway (torture). A teenage offender who cannot counsil with anybody, who can't defend himself properly or make someone else take up his interests.

It's a shame how the US (and growingly, most of the western world, see Italy's scandal judgement on the Genoa riots) shits on any standards and the state of law. No sympathy left.
