"...And fer cryin' out loud, can't we have somebody be a little creative in the attempt to extract some info from the goons already in custody?..."

shez, we have in custody, three, 100%-connected, four, 99%-connected, and four, 98% connected, terrorists! NONE of them are talking, and because of our screwed-up legal system, they are allowed to remain silent!

Since we no longer have any experts in the 'Sensitive' Science, we should be hiring some experts from the SAS and the Mossaad to extract what we need, one testicle at a time.

I don't know what the number of dead-Americans has to be, before we reach the threshold that makes our Government act responsibly. I thought 5000 dead was enough!....FRegards

Yeah, this scares me, too. I'm afraid the magic number is way, way higher than you or I could guess. Even with the scuttlebut coming from the Intel sources about the likelihood of nuke(s) already smuggled in the country, I'm still not certain we'd push the red button even if one or two of our big cities was leveled. Might hurt someone's feelings if we retaliated in kind.
