Ted,
Sorry, I don’t agree. When we’re dealing with terrorists and they don’t talk, we have to do whatever we must to get them to reveal their plans.
Civilized niceties are for civilized people. They are not meant to be extended to head choppers and homocide bombers. And you of all people, should be the first to appreciate the difference.
To quote from the Talmud, “he who is merciful to the cruel, will be cruel to the merciful.” Our enemies torture and execute people. And you would rather spare them unpleasant things like enhanced interrogation techniques to find out what they are up to because we’re civilized.
I would never spare an enemy bent on killing us all and who seeks to destroy my country from what he truly deserves. And Ted, please feel free to quote me on it.
Everything you said was very well said and absolutely spot on. I hope you are able to explain the realities of things to Senator Ted Cruz. If what he said was accurately reported and those are indeed his sentiments, this is his “Oops” moment. He really needs to make this right and get clear on the matter. Your quote from the Talmud is an eye-opener for those willing to see the truth.
I absolutely agree.
If they could easily have been killed on the battlefield, there certainly isn’t anything wrong with torturing them for information. Isn’t the reason they were spared death so that they could spill some valuable information?
America’s enemies need to start respecting them - the jihadists must be applauding this report.
