Khalid Sheik Mohammed spoke unapologetically of the terrorist acts he had committed and those he had wished to commit.
He took responsibility for killing almost 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. He said he had cut off a reporter's head, held it in his hand, and had his picture taken with it. And what was the reaction of two United States senators? They were worried that we had mistreated Khalid Sheik Mohammed in captivity.
They didn't walk out of the room and say this is a frightening example of how serious our enemies are. They worried that we were dealing too harshly with the man who had just finished saying how much he wanted to brutally slaughter us.
This inability to come to grips with evil is suicidal. Does anyone believe you can win a war being 'politically correct' or by serving tea and cookies to your enemies? Is the problem that Americans never faced such danger and are now incapable of believing in the evils of our enemies?

Steven H--how does that relate to Khalid Sheik Mohammed's treatment? He confessed to murdering 3000 Americans and that there are many more like him who are eager to do the same. And yes--they are in Iraq or haven't you seen the murderous rampage they're on there? And you want to be gentle with them?

The majority of congress do not care, it is not in their interest. Their sole purpose in life is to get rich, control your lives, steal your money to pay back their supporters.
The socialists on the other hand just want to destroy america period, take down capitalism and our constitution and tells us what to wear and when, oh I forgot, steal our money.
We need term limits on congress NOW

We are on a different level of civilization than our enemies. They are living back in an age wear a human life is meaningless. We cannot declare war on an enemy that thinks this way because it is a battle that cannot be won or lost. It is a PROBLEM that needs to be solved. That is the problem with the Bush administration and many of the Republicans. A military solution does not always work, especially when the enemy does not even care about living. We have to deal with the problem in a humane way, which is what those senators were probably doing. We cannot stoop to their level and be filled with rage and war-like anger. We must urge the UN and the governments of these countires to make better progress educating the young in places where there are terrorists to rid our next generations of this evil state of mind. It's not an easy task, but war is not the answer. We are not at war with terrorism. Terrorism is a global problem that needs to be solved in a humane, civilized way (which may include killing some of them, if necessary).

Where have you been. Americans know we are at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We know who was responsible for the WTC and Pentagon crashes on 9/11/01. Unfortunately we are not at war with the right people. THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. When are people going to realize that.? The reason the terrorists are in Iraq is because we are in Iraq. Can't people get that through their very thick skulls? Misinformation and scare tactics have been used far too much to get us into and to stay the course in Iraq while Bin Laden and Al Qaeda romp in the countryside.
