Where do we draw the line with this? Should we be able to kill family members of suspected terrorists in order to get them to talk? Should we be able to crush the testicles of the sons of suspected terrorists, as John Yoo once suggested was acceptable.
I think we very reasonably drew the line at the mastermind of 9/11 and two top al Qaeda leaders. No one was killed. No balls were crushed. No one was even physically harmed. BTW I missed your outrage over partial birth abortion and Obama’s support for infanticide. Why is that?
Hell, if physically coercing confessions is ultimately the goal of this, should local police forces also be permitted to do this to suspects in regular crimes as well?
The goal was to obtain information in order to protect against further attacks and win a war. If you can’t distinguish between these 3 and an ordinary criminal, you are an idiot and we have nothing to talk about.
