Our President said he would add civility to our foreign relations and the treatment of terrorist prisoners and he is. Apparently that is what a majority of our voters wanted since he was elected even though in my opinion the majority of them did not base their decision on qualifications. My concern is that with all the hyphenated words we are using now (African-American, Cuban-American, Mexican-American, etc.) it will not be long before we are using a hyphenated word to describe our country, not our citizens, and it will be FRANCE-AMERICA. I believe the policies that have been announced since Tuesday are much more indicative of the French ideologies than those of the United States of America.
What if the CIA, or other Special Ops types, captured a terrorist that has direct knowledge of a plan to deploy WMD in the DC area. Will President Obama change his mind about some of his civility statements concerning interrogation techniques and other policies that have protected us for the past seven plus years. The operatives problem will be where to take him and what interrogation techniques to use without the threat of being charged as criminals by the Attorney General. Having "been there and done that" I promise you they will not talk because you give them milk and cookies. Before some of you tell me I don't know what I am talking about since "I did not serve in DC", I had many years at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of Special Ops from the jungles of Cambodia and Laos before we were there to Central and South America. Yea, I know a little of what I speak. I hope I am wrong.
