How is the United States supposed to obtain information from people who are proven terrorists?
Q. If the United States has in custody someone who is SURELY a terrorist because of being caught in terrorist activities, how should the US obtain information from them to save innocent lives? Give them a warm bubble bath and hold their hand, or use challenging interrogation techniques?

A. So, these guys have been convicted or just captured and detained. I always thought that it was ridiculous to suppose that the sergeants would have any idea what the generals were up to. But it has been proven that making nice is quicker and more effective than a rubber hose. And the guy who captured Saddam Hussein wrote the book about it. I'm just too lazy to look up the title.
