I agree that in certain circumstances the use of deadly force is necessary. And I wasn't trying to say that beheading is the same as using EIT. But, I think rationalization is a slippery slope.
Where does it end? We'd be "safer" if we dropped an nuclear bomb on the whole of the Middle East and wiped out all the terrorists and potential and future terrorists. I'm always a little skeptical when we allow ourselves to rationalize our behaviors. But, on the other hand, if we, as a culture, are really okay with ETI, then we shouldn't be portraying ourselves as otherwise.


And I question whether you and your family are really safer as a result of waterboarding. We don't have access to the intelligence, and we'll likely never know, but I still would like to know how much "actionable" intelligence we got as a result before I agree with you that we're "safer" as a result.
