Grilling Terrorists

What I hear on the news these days is that bleeding heart liberals are distressed with the way terrorists and suspected terrorists were interrogated after 9/11. The interrogators were pretty rough on the terrorists and used psychological means to extract information. So what?

We've all seen the devastation of 9/11 on T.V. when terrorists comandeered airplanes and flew them into the twin towers in New York. How many innocent people lost their lives that day? How many families lost their loved ones because of fanatic terrorists whose only mission was to murder as many Americans as possible? So the grilling was rough...and with damn good reason.

It's been almost 8 years since that terrible day and part of the reason is that the United States military have done their job. They may have made a few mistakes along the way but they are human beings and doing the best they can to protect their citizens.

Short of physical torture, I say they should use all means possible to make certain we never face a 9/11 again. Do bleeding heart liberals expect an interrogator to politely ask a terrorist, "Did you commit these atrocities?", and blindly believe the "no" answer? It doesn't make sense.

Fanatics are not rational human beings. They are extremely dangerous and it would be foolhardy to treat them with kid gloves. I don't believe for a second that American Intelligence has imprisoned innocent people in this case and I fervently believe that our world is safer because of their dilligence.
