My personal opinion is that whatever is required to make these terrorist slime talk is acceptable. All the liberal backlash over the CIA's interrogation techniques forgets one important thing: The countries and terrorists that take our citizens and soldiers hostage don't abide by the Geneva Convention so using that as an argument of why we have no right to interrogate a terrorist whose group is known for beheading their prisoners is ludicrous. War is a dangerous business for all involved- those who don't have the stomach for it would be best served by staying out of the way for those who do.

Aren't these people prisoners of war??? We should abide by the Geneva convention but come on, these group are trying to destroy us, literally. Next thing you know we will be providing cable tv, cellphones, education, and fitness facilities for them. HMMM- sounds like our prison system in the states.
