Let's see, not sticking someone's head in water or preventing thousands from being killed: Which is morally correct?

Neither.

It would be morally wrong, in my judgment , for the government to not do all it can to protect the people.

There are other ways of obtaining the necessary information.

The 'other way' is to develop relationships and wear them down--befriend them, rehumanize yourself to them. That takes months.

Using historical numbers, 3,000 Americans at the Library building wouldn't have that long.

Is it morally wrong to 'torture' info out of them? You say, yes.

That's an noble position to take from an air conditioned room in front of your keyboard.

Think of someone you love on a day trip to downtown L.A. That person is going to be vaporized in hours without the info hyphenated-ali has.

Your loved one will be dead but you'll still be pure of thought and sucking on a slurpee.

Still want to wait for 6 months of, Pretty Pleases?
