    Asking yourself questions and answering them without subtracting bias and adding reality are an exercise in what exactly beyond self grandizement of one's argument which lends itself to run away scenarios and the 'chicken little" attitude.

    A: Why use enhanced techniques on those terrorists we've detained which we strongly suspect have knowledge of particular information.
    B: To save lives, including yours.
    How PC of you. Its not torture it's enhanced information gathering techniques. And no they haven't saved my life, they if anything are leading to an environment that diminishes it.

    You must have been a champion of the torreceli act or whatever the hell that moron from New Jersey was.

    A: The ones we discover shooting at us with AK's or planting roadside bombs, or identified by those higher up in theaters of conflict not to mention our intelligence network as a whole.
    B: Right.
    You do know how terrorist cells work right? Those that do the job aren't generally the ones who know where the next ones will occur. If a airman doesn't know where his next mission and ground target will be, what are the chances that a suicide bomber or one step up a bomb layer know where the next targets are going to be? Likewise if you do catch someone higher up the targets will change, thats the whole idea of warfare, its fluid. Its not like a board game with everyone holding cards and a list of targets for the next turn.

    Too gd ridicoulous. Its like me saying flower power will cause me to choke on daisies.
    Invoking a better time

    Actually is quite different or haven't you followed the changes in that community under previous administrations and through this one.
    That they still don't have enough organic assets that can speak the languages they are intercepting? That stopping terrorism is best served by good police work and building up viable conduits into the community... as per the British experience.

    Yes, we have mobile "torture" trucks that go wherever an enemy combantant is found.
    Why bother with torture trucks when you can fly them from non-cooperative countries into ones that use torture umm enhanced interrogation techniques. Gees get with the times, its much better to outsource, how protectionist '84 of you.

    Absolutely, we do this all the time especially when they won't answer us when we just ask them if they are. /sarcasm off grow up.
    Same difference.

    Actually it is more Yes, Minister.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
