1. This just breaks my heart and infuriates me beyond belief. WTF

do they hope to accomplish by killing someone, other than being able to swing their dicks? Assholes. And even if it's not true, I still think they're assholes. :grr:

4. I think when we get real al-queada personnel we should just

"take of prisoners".

6. Do you mean take no prisoners? While I understand the

sentiment, as a practical matter, it's not good militarily. It tends to encourage others to fight to the death instead of surrendering. It also gives too much credit toward the notion that we have perfect knowledge. First reports are usually wrong.

5. I suppose when you are proud of murdering

unarmed hostages, it could be considered a success.
