re: #749 wozzablog

Pardon my ignorance but I’ve no clue what “24 style detainee treatment” means. I am also puzzled by your “generals” reference. I grew up hearing stories from WWII veterans who got highest military honors, medals, and some became generals for capturing nazi officers who would be interrogated by counter intelligence , or plainly speaking tortured in order to extract tactical and strategic intelligence. You can argue that soviet methods (I am a Russian immigrant) were wrong, but those grandpa’s who were telling us these stories said that they didn’t have a choice, it was kill or be killed, and since the other side has abandoned all previously practiced, so called “honorable” rules of engagement they had to do what they had to do…
