What should the US do with prisoners that can't be tried because torture corrupts all the evidence against them?

It's simple: release them. Imprisonment without trial is injustice and will inspire people to hate the US. (It already does.)

It makes no difference whether these men might fight the US once released. Suppose a few did — on top of the the thousands who are flocking to fight for PISSI already, they make no significant change in the situation. However, if the US stops committing gross evil, that would, over time, reduce the recruitment of its enemies.

As the US moves step by step towards legalizing marijuana, use by teenagers is slowly decreasing.

Most of the plastic in the sea seems to end up in sediments at the bottom.

Maybe this means the oceans will clean themselves over time — if we stop dumping more. But it doesn't change the fact that plastic is doing lots of harm to wildlife now.

Pakistan's response to the murder of many students by suicide bomber-gunners: resume the death penalty.

Can you imagine anything more ridiculous than the idea that execution could deter attackers who expect to die in the attack?

England may prohibit smoking in a car with minors in it.

This seems like a good idea. Children get the idea of smoking from watching adults.

I object to referring to teenagers as "children", though. That is misleading.
