You asked -- "Why is that a problem?"
It's not a problem, as long as I get to do it to you, whenever I get suspicious that you know something which will protect my family.
I'm starting to suspect that you're one of those Islamo-fascists who has just been recruited to masquerade as an "American" in order to penetrate our defenses. If I just I had some "time" with you -- I might get you to confess.
And, you know..., whenever I get one of those "hunches" -- I'm usually right. The way I see it, it's well worth trying out my skills on you, just to save a few thousand lives.

You're not even making any sence. I'm not talking about hunches or flickers or glimmers. I'm talking about good intelligence from weeks of surveiling indivduals, and who they talk to and when and for how long and where they've been, etc so on. I'm not talking about some lame gut feeling or some voodoo crap like that. I'm talking about REAL intelligence with documents and photos and hard evidence to back up a reality that an individual has information about an impending attack, and the other individuals are in the wind, and can't be found because the attack is about to occur. If you have a problem smacking Abdul around to find his buddies who are in the process of moving to carry out the attack, well. You've got a problem. I've grateful for the person who smacks someone like that around in the final hours before an attack and thereby stops the attack and keeps me and my wife and family safe. God bless them. You can play symantics all you want to. But what I'm saying is logical and rational and very clear.
