Hurting enemies while they're fighting, presumably to make them stop being able to hurt you or whomever you're protecting, has always been granted a special moral free pass. But if there is no fight occurring, and the enemy is subdued and unable to cause harm, then the situation has changed a bit, into a greyer area. I've also met a guy who has used water-boarding in the field, and he didn't seem like a sadist. He felt pretty bad about using it, though he thought it effective and necessary.
