Maybe you missed something?

We're at war. Our enemies are suicidal...they don't care about their lives. They need to be stopped, and it may require us to take measures that aren't considered humane for common criminals. Yes, there should still be some limits. But we can't just put capturees in jail and feed them steak dinners and expect to get the information we need about further plots and who else we ought to be looking for. Read the below. We need to stay the course.

In a letter to the terrorist leader Zarqawi, the Al Qaida leader Zawahiri has outlined his goals in Iraq with these steps, quote: "expel the Americans from Iraq, establish as Islamic authority over as much territory as you can to spread its power in Iraq, extend the jihad wave."

The terrorists hope America will withdraw before the job is done, so they can take over the country and turn it into a base for future attacks.

Zawahiri called the Vietnam War as a reason to believe the terrorists can prevail. He wrote, quote, "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam and how they ran and left their agents is noteworthy."
