Geode has been beheaded or at least de-brained. She seems to be at a loss for words with regard to my response. I know my views are doubtless controversial, but spend your days watching beheading videos over and over again, trying to pick out something distinctive about the perpetrators that can be used to capture them, and I think any one would feel that such people do not deserve the same treatment as uniformed regular soldiers abiding by the "rules" of war. And some people scoff at my analogy to disciplining children and "torture". But there's a clear distinction for me. "Torture" is the kind of activities that take place SOLELY for the dubious "pleasure" of inflicting pain. My view is that within the guidelines society has set for disciplining children, interrogators FOCUSED ON OBTAINING CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF THWARTING FUTURE ATTACKS AND LOSS OF LIFE, should be permitted the same discretion. Because these guys are children, no matter what their age. They are ruthless, cunning, and sociopathic killers who treat THEIR prisoners like animals to be slaughtered. Hawk
