I find it amazing that some people think it so horrible that Khalid Sheik Mohammed suffered some discomfort for 2 1/2 minutes----discomfort he was in charge of stopping at any moment by signaling that he was ready to talk----when he was the one who devised the 9/11 plan. For a review of those of you, including John McCain, who seems to have forgotten: that plan caused horrendous suffering, fear and pain----as hundreds, thousands, were trapped in a 110 story building with no way out. It was so horrible, many jumped out of that building to die more quickly and escape the horror. Now, folks....THAT IS TORTURE!!!!

Do I care that this man and two other top Al Qaeda leaders suffered for a couple of minutes? NO, I DO NOT.

Am I glad that they gave up information that led to the capture or killing of other top Al Qaeda members and stopped some plans to kill more Americans? YOU BETCHA!

Am I upset that the libs of this country have taken this important (but rarely used tool) away from our CIA professionals? ABSOLUTELY!!

Do I care to hear from one of these libs next time there's a horrendous terrorist attack that kills many of their fellow Americans---crying, "why doesn't the president do something, why didn't he prevent it?" NO, I DO NOT!
