All that is necessary to get these men to cease their harmful behavior is to imprison them. But if in some cases it is necessary to execute them, lest too much additional violence be done in their name (e.g. Saddam), OK, fine, be done with it. None of that is torture and no the objection is not to "duress". You can't win wars in torture chambers. They are only won on battlefields, where there is honor; where there is no danger there is no honor. It used to be every grown man knew that in his bones.
But I am surrounded by honorless cowards who think they are "conservative" when they are nothing of the kind.

Do we not have the right to know what threats exist from openly avowed enemies who have demonstrated their willingness to kill?
These people are not citizens who have strayed into criminal conduct and committed personal crimes. They are foreign enemies who have sworn themselves to the defeat of the United States. Torts and criminal law do not apply.
