Y'know...he's got a point there.
It is really frustrating playing by all these "rules", while they use ambulances as bombs, kill innocent civilians, and generally do ANYTHING they want on their side of the war. It's crazy how they say they're so religious, and they don't care how people die, if they're innocent babies...they'll bomb anything, and I'm sure they have no worries about spreading chemical, disease, and nuclear disaster the second they get their hands on it.
I'm sure we wont see our guys string up people in the town square (but thanks for that visual - it releases a little of my frustration!), but certainly we are going to have to thicken our skin a little (well, maybe not us, but many others in this country) and do more of what it takes to get information. It's all cool to take the "high ground", but if they got information they need to end this using some torture, intimidation, and do to them what they do to others (an appendage to the golden rule?) then I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - and if they did it in secret, well, neither would anybody else.

Is there anything sweeter than playing by the rules and STILL kicking the other guy's butt? That's what makes us different, that's why it still means something to be an American.

And our own Army wants to court martial an American officer less than a year from retirement for firing a couple of shots in the vicinity of a prisoner to get him to talk in order to save American lives. High ground, my backside!
