B. Austin Higgins over at A Certain Slant of Light hammers Andrew Sullivan and his ilk over the treatment of "detainees"
Now then, and lest the delicate sensibilities of Andrew Sullivan be ruffled, we must pray that this woman is not "waterboarded" or subjected to any other interrogation techniques that might elicit from her important information on al-Qaida and its plans for additional suicide bombings. Better that civilian non-combatants at wedding receptions be blown to smithereens than that the CIA or U.S. military resort to any form of interrogation technique other than booking her into a posh lakeside resort suite, giving her three squares a day via the room service menu, and asking her kindly that she tell all, while assuring her that if she does she'll get an 8 1/2 x 11 inch autographed glossy of Martha Stewart.Personally, if they are unlawful enemy combatants -- as terrorists certainly are -- then treat them the way FDR did the eight Nazi spies caught during the Second German War: hang 'em.
