I trust they will be politely asked to cooperate.

OK, important point ... the two captured terrorists, caught red-handed with two of the four kidnapped Egyptians, probably know where the other two are being held. Chances are now that the remaining kidnappers will either attempt to trade for their compatriots or behead the other two in retaliation. Teddy Kennedy, what do we do? Heck, even Dershowitz knows the answer to that one.

This is an instance in which torture could be appropriate (if a qualified interrogator makes the call), because innocent lives are at directly stake by unlawful conduct (kidnapping).

No one "should" be tortured, but no one should be kidnapped either. And they certainly shouldn't have their heads cut off.
