Why don't we go one step further and all just convert to Islam?

You missed the point of the post. The only thing these "people" seem to understand, is when they're treated in the same way they treat others. What do you think would happen if they captured General Franks? Think they'd let him live? Of course not. They'd get what info. they could from him and do exactly what I said above. We already KNOW that's what they'd do, because of Daniel Pearl. How soon some people forget.

These people inflict the most degrading, inhumane treatment and punishment on their victims. Turn it around on 'em I say.

Your point is well taken. However, I think steve's solution is better, since that way we get what we want (information) and we can do it without becoming a caricature of a barbarian jihadi.
