The utopians at The New York Times are shocked that we would use "coercive" techniques to interrogate Al Qaeda prisoners.
The Central Intelligence Agency has used coercive interrogation methods against a select group of high-level leaders and operatives of Al Qaeda that have produced growing concerns inside the agency about abuses, according to current and former counterterrorism officials.
One would hope that every method available, "coercive" or not, would be used to drain these murderous sociopaths of every scrap of useful information possible. No sympathy here, except for the difficult burden placed on the humanity of our interrogators.
