So a few terrorists didn't survive their interrogations.

You're condoning the murder of POWs?

Amazing...

There are those who attempt to condemn all troops based on the actions of a few bad ones, then there are those who excuse the actions of a few bad ones because the majority are good. Both schools of thought are equally inappropriate.

Obviously -- based on the responses in FR, Limbaugh, et. -- treatment of prisoners is a ripe subject for discussion and general edification. Limabaugh's "frat house hi-jinks" comment indicates just how unacceptably low stanards have sunk.

TERRORISTS ARE NOT, repeat NOT CONSIDERED POW-s.

Suppose we have a terrorist prisoner, who knows where they hid a nuke, which will be set off in 24 hrs. What would you choose:

? a) We must not hurt a hair on the head of this terrorist prisoners, better to see millions of US innocents die, destroy the US economy for years to come.

b) to h&$# with the terrorist, bring out thubscrews and any other creative techniuqes -- just make sure he doesn't die, before he tells us, where the nuke is.

Apparently you are so concerned about the life of the terrorist, that you would choose a).

The point I am making, is that we don't interrogate the prisoners for fun, we are interrogating them, to get information to save innocent lives -- including our innocent lives.

This is not some idealistic world we live in, one would think 9-11 would have woken people up, but apparently not.

Wake up and smell reality.
