You only need know one thing. They target civilians. That is a crime for which no treatment is out of line.
I'll determine what I need to know to make my own judgements, thank you very much.
How do you know these specific guys targeted civilians? Do you have the dossiers on these two fellows? Care to share your insider information? What precisely do you know about them?
Please, I'm awaiting your response on tenterhooks.

If they are a Member of a terrorist organization, Al Queida, Hamas, Hezbollah....whatever, then treating them in a manner as you propose, puts innocent lives at risk.

How do I know? you ask...I am not there, nor am I tasked to know, however, I do have enough trust in the men and women in harms way that have that information to act on it accordingly.

You seem to wish to ask ridiculous questions, as a means of avoiding the fact that you obviously place innocent life, on the same plane as that of a terrorist....unless i misunderstand your point?

Do you mean that....

By allowing terrorists to remain silent, or delaying the transmittal of information does not unnecessarily place inoocents at risk ?

Or that Innocent civilians should die, because your sense of Moral Superiority says so.

Thank God it was Truman that called for the Bomb to be dropped, bc obviously your sense of moral equivlancy would have prohibited that too....

Hamas claims responsibility for Wednesday suicide attack
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The military wing of Hamas, Iz Adin a-Kassam, on Friday claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing Wednesday in the northern city of Haifa that claimed the lives of 14 Israelis and one American and wounded scores.

SO then, what you two are saying is that if a member of Hamas was caught two days ago, it would be wrong to torture them to extract information, even though this is the result of inaction....

These animals are not soldiers, and Human in name only. Torture, while grotesque, is sometimes necessary.

Just like Hiroshima.
