Electrical cables and being tough/cruel would be far less important than showing up at the right time and asking the right questions.

Absolutely... But prior to 9/11, most folks wouldn't have seen it necessary to ask these kinds of questions, let alone rely upon profiling an entire group of people of a particular religious faith..

But when you have custody of terrorist leadership, who have chosen to operate outside the legal restraints that others have imposed upon THEMSELVES (to maintain the facade of being "civilized"), I have little problem in using whatever is required to extract information from them...

I certainly believe we would have done the same to Goebbels, Himmler, Goering, or any other high-ranking Nazi general who failed to "cooperate" with us..

And they represented a state, not a non-state terrorist actor...
