The problem is that as described, the tactic is itself terrorism -- which we're supposedly at war with. Of course, the report may be false, exaggerated, or out of date, but Freepers who assume it's true and then shrug or sneer at anyone who objects aren't in an awfully good position to criticise al-Qaeda sympathizers.

That is the most ridiculous bunch of BS I've seen posted on FR in some time! -

Taking the wives of known terrorists into custody is a method that should be used....(and used more frequently). The fact is if you knew how these families operate the women within these families are "part" of the process. They know quite a lot (often) and help facilitate their husbands agendas. They play a role within the terrorists network.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. And to try and compare us to the terrorists is to have your moral compass so far shoved up your you know what....it blows my mind.

To try and come off as the "smartest one in the room" and to try and intellectualize why we are wrong is simply ridiculous (and we have too many JAGs within the military doing exactly this.....not to mention the State Dept.).

It's obvious you have never been in combat fighting for your life, or had any close relatives there.

Traditional Moslems don't put a high value on women; how about taking their infant sons instead?

It is, huh?

If what you are saying is true, then taking the wives into custody will not work. However, it does work. Now what were you saying?

BS on several points - First off many of those we are fighting today are not "traditional Muslims" they are fanatics and evil SOB's who most certainly have involved their wives into their agendas.

Additionally the notion that Muslim may not put high value on their "women" is very true.....by that is immaterial into the fact that these same women know plenty about what is going on. They do.

Lastly for all the Muslim bravado about not valuing women....this is / can be true when speaking on Muslim women on the whole.....but when you are talking specifically about this thug or that thugs personal wife!...the game can change....and taking their wife into custody puts a tremendous amount of pressure not only on them....but those above them.

As I said before your idea to try and intellectualize this into making "us" compared to "them" is so faulty to the point of absurdity.

Apparently not, since we've quit doing it. So, about those infant sons....

Though I will agree with you here - This also would put a tremendous amount of pressure on them -

But being an infant....and with that assuredly being completely unaware and not of any direct/willing assistance to these evil SOB's plans.....this is obviously not something we would do.

Their wives however should be a whole other ball game. But we have way too many "intellectual" JAGs and staff at the State Dept -

Wrong (on both points).

Sorry, but I don't agree with taking hostages and hiding behind women. Yeah, the enemy does worse. That makes it ok?
