I don't care that there are terrorists who get tortured, by America or any other country, and that they feel pain and fear from the torture.
I don't care what their "causes" are, I don't care what their "grievances" are, I don't care about the "oppression" they "suffer" from Western civilization that exists only in their own minds. I don't care about their rage at Israel's existence, I don't care about the "occupation" of "Palestinian land" that is nothing but a fantasy in the medieval Muslim mind since there is no such thing as "Palestinians" and never has been and the only "land" they maybe can lay claim to are the Arab lands they slithered out of and into Israel. I don't care about their rage at our freedoms and way of life, and I don't care that they don't like it when we don't stone to death those they define as whores and infidels.
In fact, I can't say that I care about terrorists at all. I really don't.
I want them all dead, so dead that they almost never existed in the first place. I want them dead, and buried, and no longer a threat to peaceful, freedom-loving people who have progressed beyond the 9th century.
There have always been people like you who sympathize with mass murderers- there always have been and always will be. There were people in the 1930s who marched in the streets demanding that we leave Hitler alone, and there were those of your ilk who, all during the Cold War, demanded that we leave the Communists alone so they could expand into as many nations as possible and murder those who resisted being enslaved. But those people lost because the majority of decent people don't have mushy, love-struck feelings towards those who rampage across the land, murdering and enslaving.
They lost, and the modern-day killer-lovers and sympathizers who sit in freedom and relative safety and who identify with al Queda, and admire them, and support them will lose too.
The train left weeks ago and you are still standing at the station. Nobody cares about terrorists, and nobody cares if they are tortured and killed. Nobody except those living in the alternate universe of liberal leftism.
You should care about the most effective strategy in winning the war against terrorism.
The wide consensus is that we are losing the war because of major mistakes:
such as not sending enough troops to capture Bin Laden at Tora Bora,
invading Iraq based on faulty intelligence,
and not catching the folks responsible for anthrax.
And the reason you should care about the most effective strategy in winning the war against terrorism is that lives are at stake.
To want to kill Bin Laden and Zawahiri — for example — hardly does much good when the US has proved so bad at getting the job done.
The reason to understand your enemy, for example, is that it is necessary for the correct profiling of the anthrax crimes which were always obviously US-based operatives supporting Al Qaeda.
