We still do need to torture some prisoners, it's a military necessity.
If finding Zarqawi will result in stopping more car bombs and sarin bombs, torturing those four for fast information would be a highly moral act.
To put them in a comfy cell, their information intact in their heads, while car bombs blow up innocents, would be an act of moral cowardice.
Even leftists such as Alan Dershowitz are on the record wholeheartedly agreeing with this.
But having been "burned" by helping the CIA last year, the US Army will have nothting to do with this "moral torture."
So it will have to be an Iraqi and CIA job. At most, Delta will do the snatch and hand over.
I hope so.
It seems like a reasonable guess. It'll be interesting to see if this story just dissapears now.
Stay Safe !
