One of the top two-dozen al Qaeda leaders sought by the United States in its war on terrorism was captured recently and is in American custody, U.S. government sources said on Friday.

Okay, let's assume that al Qaeda is planning a spectacular series of simultaneous worldwide attacks.

And let's assume that this captured al Qaeda leader knows a fair number of details of these attacks, but isn't talking.

Is turning him over to some third-party people who will torture him to get information on the plans appropriate?

This is where all the goody-two-shoes mentality of the liberals runs into a brick wall. Can you imagine the outcry from Tom Daschle if such attacks occur and we had in our custody someone who knew the details but wasn't talking? Can you imagine the outcry from Tom Daschle if a bunch of attacks are averted but some al Qaeda leader was tortured to reveal details?

Either way Daschle will whine.

Which is why, fellow Freeper, Tom Daschle is not fit to be president. Anyone who would consider Tom Daschle a serious candidate is either dimwitted or a network anchor or both.

You can be sure we put the needle in him within minutes after we had him secured.

F the dwarf! I would turn him over slowly on a spit with a piglet in his mouth and baste him with bacon fat until he was fully carmelized. I bet he might say a few words during the 24 hour curing process.
