"That was a stupid comment and I could see you grinning through it."

Actually, I was totally serious. This so-called 'war on terrorism' is likely to be a very L-O-N-G war (if 'ending all terrorism' is truly the end game). Consequently, as a Super Power, our own actions are likely to be a bigger determinant of final victory then anything any group of non-state-actors is likely to be able to throw at us.

"Simple judgement calls like shooting a person that appears to be a trap falls way short of torture and decapitation."

Since I never made any such comparison, I have no comment... (you seem to be arguing with yourself, Tide.)
