Torture: it works every time it's tried!

Torture is against everything Americans stands for, or is it? Certainly if we were fighting a convention war torture would be intolerable under almost any circumstance. Unfortunately we are engaged in a war to the death with a group of religious fanatics whose only weapon is terrorism. Except for the fact that they are radicals of the Muslim faith we know little about them. These people are very fertile (breed like flies) and their numbers are increasing almost exponentially. At this point there are large enclaves of Muslims is almost every city of any size in every country in the world.
The primary problem, of course, is that the radicals in the group masquerade as law abiding moderates until they strike. At which point, of course, it is to late to do anything to stop them. The latest attempts by the underwear bomber to blow up an airliner and the most recent effort to detonate a bomb in Times Square, show, without a doubt, that our present tactics, whatever they are, are not working. Rather, to date we have just been incredibly lucky to escape further loss of American life. No one in their right mind can believe that our luck will continue indefinitely. In this respect, the Fort Hood massacre should serve as a wake up call for all concerned.
If we are to have any chance of avoiding future 9/11s we must do everything possible to learn what the terrorists are up to before hand so that we can take appropriate measures to curtail their attacks. Since they are an amorphous group who are not easily identified we must be able to employ every single method at our disposal to gain any information that could be used to thwart their efforts to kill us. One such method is torture!
The mindless liberals scream and holler that torture is barbaric and inhuman, which of course it is. This hate America crowd believes that all of our problems on the terrorism front can be solved if we just stop throwing our weight around. These cretins need a good dose of reality, force fed if necessary! I would lock these fools up in a room and make them watch the videos of those poor soles jumping to their deaths from the twin towers on 9/11 until they screamed for mercy or died from starvation, which ever came first.
During this reeducation session they would not be allowed to eat or drink anything, not even cool aid! Along these same lines the liberals who run our pathetic system of public education should be forced to start each school day (well maybe not in kindergarten but certainly by the time they start teaching sex education) by showing this “jumping to their death” video. This would give the required pledge of elegance a whole new meaning to the kids, would it not?
Now the liberals will immediately counter this argument by claiming that even if torture could be justified it should not be used because it doesn’t work. I have heard the liberal pundits claim over and over again that torture of any kind only produces erroneous information, not worth the paper it is written on. This, of course, is true in one circumstance and in one circumstance only.
It is true that a terrorist, or anyone else being tortured, will make things up, say anything, to stop the pain being inflicted on him by the torturer if he knows nothing that is of any value to the interrogator. That is the key here; you can not get blood from a turnip no matter what you do to the turnip. That, of course, does not mean you shouldn’t try.
More importantly, I’m finally getting to the point; torture always works if the one being tortured knows something that is useful to the interrogator. Yes, torture works every time it is tried. In this respect, the rag heads that we water boarded in Guantanamo were a treasure trove of valuable information. The Lord only knows how many American lives were saved by the information gleamed from these rats after they were water boarded. But I digress again; the point is that these religious fanatics knew a great deal about the Muslin terrorist communities from which they came and they sang like canaries at the first sign of torture. Yes, torture works, sometimes beyond our wildest dreams.
Now, I am sure that some of the information obtained at Guantanamo was erroneous and could have been misleading if we allowed it to be. Fortunately, we have intelligence agencies, or we are lead to believe that we do. These individuals may not be as good as their counterparts in Israel, but I am sure that they are capable of sifting through the information produced by the interrogators to determine if it was useful or not.
In summary, we are fighting an unconventional war to the death with radical Islamic fundamentalists. This war will not be won unless we employ every method possible to determine where these people are and what they are up to at all times. Torture has and should continue to play a role in this fight for our very survival.
Now, before bringing this blog to a close I want to deal with the issue, no the insanity, of closing Guantanamo The liberals, who will not rest until we give up one of our most valuable recourse's in the war against terrorism, believe that we can not win this war unless we turn around world opinion. Basically, this large group of mental midgets are convinced that the world hates America and that if we are just play nice everyone will love us and we will live in divine bliss forever.
Well, in the first place, the rag heads in Guantanamo never had it so good! My guess is that the majority of this motley crowd have no desire to return to the countries of their birth. Anyway we should try them, convict them and kill them (not necessarily in that order) so that there will be room for the next group of terrorist that we capture on the battle field or arrest during their aborted attempts to kill our civilians. No, Guantanamo is where they belong.
The insanity of trying foreign tourists in American courts will be the subject of a future blog.
