No, I am all for the “kill them all and let God sort them out” approach to terrorism. And in that mindset I fully approve of the less harsh action of wringing life saving information out of those we capture in any way we can. I’m not going to make false distinctions about which is more or less moral, killing them on the battlefield or roughing them up in their lifetime detention for the purpose of preventing more killing by them.
Hmmm. Food for good thought.
I equate this "interrogation detainment" to pussy-footing around with the problem. That is really what irritates me with the whole thing. Maybe my morals have a loose screw, but I do find torture of bound prisoners to be immoral, yet I fully believe that total victory on the battlefield to be fully justified and completely moral. We don't need little parcels of coerced information to wage a real war.
