David B: I really don’t think Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife, Hillary, can sort out something like this. It looks like sometimes extraordinary measures are necessary to achieve extraordinary results. I find it unacceptable that an American flies to a Philippines resort with his mistress and is kidnapped by terrorists and then beheaded. That was a real shock to his wife and kids. Civilian contractors (not working as mercenaries) and NGO’s kidnapped in Iraq tortured and mutilated. The daily suicide bombings in Afghanistan and Iraq murdering innocent men, women and children in the name of Jihad.
Let me say I have somewhat of a double standard on this subject. I do not want to be interrogated by either side in any of these conflicts. If I had to choose I would prefer waterboarding by a few coalition interrogates to anything else and I think Thailand would be a great location to be released. R & R in Pattaya or Phuket would be in order after such an experience. When they realize they got the wrong guy I don’t think that they would begrudge me a bit of time on the beach. Being questioned by non-coalition member country I would not expect to be set free at all. The prospect of being mutilated and later having my murder shown on Terror TV (Al J All the Time or something like that) would have me concentrating on how to keep from gurgling or losing control of my bodily functions for posterity when they do me in.
The prevention of major terrorist incidents, especially in the country where my family lives and propagates is JOB ONE. To the terrorists I would remind them as they remind us every day that fighting terrorism is a very dirty job. We have a wooden plank and a little water to sometimes extract information from a misguided individual. The non-Jihadists may have used this method to help keep my loved ones safe. If they did, they are partially responsible for preventing another large scale attack on US soil.
You know what I see when I visualize the indignant? When they are writing their moral objection to what amounts to less than the near downing experiences we all had playing in swimming pools when we were children? I see crying and tears rolling down their cheeks and dripping onto their computer keyboards. I really hope that their computers fail from water damage so they have time to think about their courageous stand on the subject.

Lets hope Hilary can sort it all out!
