It would be interesting to know what an "Islamist fighter" is.

three of those released from the prison for suspected militants resurfaced as senior Islamist fighters in Afghanistan while a fourth was later identified as having been a Taliban deputy defense minister.

I would guess that this is a pretty damning indictment of the effectiveness of torture as an interrogation method.

Either these guys have a bone to pick with the US now that they've been released after 'interrogation' or they were terrorists all along and were able to conceal that fact from the interrogators.

I didn't see that in the article.

We are the USA.  We don't torture.  We set the example.  We are not mafia criminal scum.  We lead by example.

We are not a two-bit dictatorship that hooks up suspects' nutsacks to car batteries. 

That is what we fight against.

Jeez, how did the moral compass in this country get so deranged.

Doesn't stand to reason that some of the people we let go, because we don;t have good evidence on, might join the "enemy"?

I don;t think it has much to do with politics.  It's just a fact of taking in detainees and letting some of them go.

A bunch or really bad folks flew a few planes into buildings...these people are not in any way rational..these are not the Germans or the Japanese or anybody we have ever fought. They really hate us because we're free..we have tv and we don't live in caves. They really suck and sometimes u gotta do what u have to to get info from guys who would rather kill their populations if it meant killing i American soldier or civilian.

They don;t hate America cause we are free.   That's our propaganda speaking.


they hate us because of our economic and foreign policies and who we support......one of which is the Jews who oppress and repress some of their fellow Arabs.

These people are very rational.  They were able to manufacture and pull off the single greatest attack on american soil since WWII.

They don't hate us b/c we are free.  That is patently absurd.

They hate us b/c of our foreign policy.

As part of its global power position, the United States is called upon frequently to respond to international causes and deploy forces around the world. America's position in the world invited attack simply because of its presence. Historical data show a strong correlation between US involvement in international situations and increase in terrorist attacks against the United States.

Bin Laden's said as much that he wanted the infidels out of the holy land.

Strangely enough, I believe him.
