I’m glad to see someone finally make the point in a major newspaper that I’ve been making on this blog for a long time. That we could eliminate the issues surrounding Gitmo if the terrorists were just executed on the battlefield after their interrogations.
Col. Ralph Peters writes in the NY Post today:
WE made one great mistake regarding Guantanamo: No terrorist should have made it that far. All but a handful of those grotesquely romanticized prisoners should have been killed on the battlefield.
The few kept alive for their intelligence value should have been interrogated secretly, then executed.
Terrorists don’t have legal rights or human rights. By committing or abetting acts of terror against the innocent, they place themselves outside of humanity’s borders. They must be hunted as man-killing animals.
Everyone should read the column in its entirety — it’s the best one of 2009.
Contrary to the ACLU narrative about America, we’re actually too nice and too humane when it comes to waging war.
I believe we should do everything in our power to avoid killing civilians, but when it comes to terrorists I believe we should have little mercy.
The CIA was on the right track with the secret black sites for interrogation in addition to Gitmo.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible for anyone to keep their damn mouths shut about any secret program. You simply cannot have a secret that won’t eventually end up on the front page of the NY Slimes Times.
For this reason, the strategy should be to imbed interrogators with special forces units.
When a high value terrorist is captured, he should be made to talk on the spot by any means necessary. After every last tidbit of information has been extracted he should be executed on the spot.
Then we have the information we need and without liberals howling about so-called “rights” for terrorists.
