Every captive is a potential
source of information, and we need to get that information, whatever the
cost. Tit for tat, and when you're dealing with folks who behead innocents
for the sheer terror it creates, the gloves of legalism are off.

Are you personally satisfied that every prisoner subjected to interrogation
beyond that generally recognized as legal and civilized has "beheaded innocents
for the sheer terror it creates", or is it enough that they are of the same
ethnicity as the criminal *******s and that there's a very slim chance one or
two of them *could be* involved in beheadings?
