Sometimes, you just have to do them one better.
Then you have become worse then you enemy..
Sometimes, you just have to do them one better.
Unfortunately history has a habit of repeating itself, no matter how noble your original intentions are.
"Combatants captured and held by the United States as a result of its operations in Afghanistan against the Taliban government and Al Qaeda forces were not recognized as prisoners of war by the Bush administration and were termed “unlawful combatants” instead."
I can sort of understand how the Taliban could be considered prisoners of war (they were the Afghan goverment at the time, but we did treat them the same) but the Al Qaeda were and are not part of any goverment, just terrorists. Now how should ordinary mass serial killers be treated?
Al-Qaeda has attacked civilian and military targets in various countries, the most notable being the September 11 attacks in 2001. These actions were followed by the US government launching a military and intelligence campaign against al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations called the War on Terror. As of 2009, the group is believed to have between 200 and 300 members.
The Afghan Mujahedeen of the 1980s have been alleged to be the inspiration for terrorist groups in nations such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Chechnya, and the former Yugoslavia. According to Russian sources, the perpetrators of the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 allegedly used a manual allegedly written by the CIA for the Mujihadeen fighters in Afghanistan on how to make explosives.
War does not give one a choice, I'm talking about the individual, not the country.
War is but only one option.. Escalation of War and is showing disregard for human life and humanity. If you cannot be respected how do you expect to end a conflict ?
Just for fun you should check out the life expectancy of men in similar positions as you.Torture is a natural part of life. I have a wife and three teenage daughters. Amnesty International cares not one iota for me.
