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?

Point taken , Gould... but do you recognize that Americans are targeted for
simply looking and talking like Americans? Or that places that Americans
are know to gather are targeted in the hopes that a few Americans will be
there?

And these Americans civilians are infinitely more innocent than the illegal
combatant terrorist that you are concerned about?

I'll wager the dead from the twin towers wish they could be illegally
interrogated by the US Army instead of burning to death, eh?
