I haven't lost a single minute of sleep worrying about how much is too much in our interrogation methods at Guantanamo Bay.

The Guantanamo Bay facility is a brilliant strategic tool for collecting information crucial to the protection of American citizens. Designed specifically to comply with international law and still give us the ability to coerce information that will save thousands, this facility is one of the key tools in the War on Terror. The constant cries of opponents referencing unproven claims of extreme torture not withstanding, we must continue to extract information from these global criminals within reason.

The debate can rage on and people should continue to clarify the currently fuzzy line between torture and reasonable compulsion without stopping our experts from continuing their work in gathering intelligence to prevent attacks on innocent people around the world. We are at war, and there should be no more sympathy for a terrorist who has been water-boarded than there is for one who is shot in a raging battle and bleeds to death on the field of combat.

These animals decided to annihilate the Western culture and have been trying their best to do it with no regard for the pain and suffering of anyone, including their own people. We treat them better than they have treated any westerner they've captured, even when we have them strapped on an incline board and pour water over their head. We certainly aren't sawing their heads off and posting a video of it on the internet!

As long as we are making an effort to define and stay within the bounds of reason, we should use whatever means current law allows in compelling them to give us information.

The lives of my loved ones are worth more to me than any amount of suffering dealt out to those who plan to kill and destroy the innocent.
