Giving terrorists "rights" gets us nothing.

Iraqi soldiers deny their prisoners "rights" and nobody cares. There are no sirens from mosques in Arab countries calling for the people to join the jihad. They only do it for Americans - the same Americans that they say defile Muslim holy lands simply by setting foot there.

We are not dealing with an organized Italian army that will save POWs to trade at the end of the war.

We also have proof of someone who provided details BECAUSE of torture and a terrorist act was stopped. I'm willing to accept a couple of naked guys on polaroids to save lives.

--But really, this thread isn't about the protest of torture or its justification.

Fighting through means of TERROR does not help our cause. It'll only help our enemies. Look through history.

The Brittish used brutal tactics during the American Revolution, it only made the Colonist fight harder.

The French tried the same tactics on the Hatians.

Santa Anna took NO prisioners at Goliad and the Alamo.

The Germans and Japanese were especially BRUTAL on anybody they caught.

WE destroyed MANY a Vietamnese villages...

These guys all have one thing in common.....

My point is this, brutal tactics only strengthen your enemies resolve. It makes his sons want to fight you.

But we know that wasn't about "obtaining" information. If it was then they wouldn't have placed it in a the hands of a freaking sergant and his private gf.
