There is a continuing debate and many questions about interrogation techniques which the Bush administration sanctioned in order to extract information from terror suspects.
I am not writing this post to condone the Bush administration’s policies, or to denigrate them, but I must say this: This is a different situation. In a normal war I don’t really know if these practices would be right or wrong but lets keep one thing in mind. Terrorists have no compunction whatsoever about killing, maiming, and sawing the heads off of innocent people. I have no problem with the idea of aggressive interrogation techniques against terror suspects, but I would say that there should be no doubt about their identification. These techniques should not be used against innocents, even when there is a shadow of a doubt. Then there is the issue of control. When does the interrogator go too far. This is the game that terrorists started. They are prepared to pay the consequences. Let them pay.
I do feel that the CIA interrogator who beat the suspect to death should be punished. Its very hard for me to feel sympathy for anyone who kills innocent people. Since this is my blog I can say what I want. If you have a comment to make you can do so, but I will delete those which don’t give positive insight. State your mind but give a valid reason for your opinion. This has been one humble post by the military ring man.
