You should treat these detained prisoners like normal, subjecting them to absolutely no physical or emotional torture or abuse. Giving in to torturing for information will only fuel their hatred for Americans even more giving them a reason to torture and kill us too. Although a little more frustrating and strenuous, your squad will have to find the information out another way.
One long term repercussion is the continuation of the war is more likely with torturing enemies because this makes people vengeful and peace is harder to obtain. A short term repercussion is that if word spreads of our troops torture of the insurgents other enemies and terrorists can plot against us and kill us while we are still in the area. Thus we would never find the bomb factory, whereas without torture we could still have a chance.
