So you catch three of the worst guys ever, and you suspect that they have info that could kill thousands of innocent people, and you don’t make every attempt to get the info out of them? What would lefties do? I just don’t get it.
Unfortunately, it appears many of those who were tortured were innocent. It is a bad precedent to set to allow the government to torture people in its custody. You can imagine the benefits some government official could have by increasing a conviction rates through an increase in the willingness of those arrested to ‘confess’ their crimes...
I have an idea. Skip the penny ante stuff and act like America used to. Attack the sponsor country conventionally. And yes, there is always a sponsor country. Typically it’s the Saudis. A Marine division should be rolling in and seizing mecca. Torture is playing their silly game. And for the record I don’t think we did anything I would call torture. We were one step removed from the comfy chair of the pythons.
