Protect? That's an interesting assumption about what the use of torture (or "cruel and inhumane treatment" if you want to get Clintonian about it) does for intelligence-gathering. Is there any evidence to suggest that the iron-glove treatment actually improves intelligence gathering? I've seen several suggestions that the most you get from torture is false confessions and the production of misinformation.

Yes, people of your country have often stepped up to defend the cause of liberty when actions taken by foreign and local enemies of liberty have threatened it. I certainly hope they continue to do so, and I hope they continue to believe that the best defense of liberty is liberty itself. All this talk of how you need to act like a tyrant to your enemies makes me wonder if your country still thinks that tyranny is a bad thing.
