That's the whole distinction better civillian law enforcement and war, its a complete difference in philosophy.
So, what about home grown terrorists ? Say....abortion clinic bombers etc. They use the same tactics as international terrorists, are trying to change the laws and constitution of the USA via violence rather than the democratic process, pose a threat to the civilian population of the country. Or what about the KKK in their more virulent days ?

EDIT. As I said what proportion of innocent people tortured would you consider acceptable ?
