I can see your point, and agree with it to an extent, but where do you draw the line? Is it OK to kick and beat someone to get information? I can see answering yes.

Yes

Is it OK threaten a prisoner's/detainee's/whatever you what to call them's son, who is a young teenager and may also be participating in insurgency stuff, but we don't know, to get the parent to talk?

Yes

Is it OK to pick up the kid and bring him in, and beat the parent (father) and tell him you are going to beat the kid the same way if he doesn't talk?

Balancing test. Reliability of our information that he is not innocent v. risks of not getting information from father. Presumption against not beating the son.

Is it OK to rape (or threaten to rape, and undress or whatever in prep for rape) the sister/daughter/wife/mother of a prisoner/detainee/whatever?

Threaten? Yes. Anything above that, no, assuming they are not guilty.
