Legally speaking, what is the difference in being an interrogated in a US Warship in international waters, verses on land at Gitmo?
In each situation is the US Military, a US controlled environment, and I would assume the same interrogation techniques.
What are the legal issues here? Or, are there none?

A U.S. warship is more convenient to the interrogators than having to send someone all the way to Gitmo, but I can’t think of any particular legal difference. Both the base at Gitmo and a Navy vessel are entirely under the dominion and control of the United States, U.S. law applies there, and prisoners held in either place have at least some rights: Rasul v.
