This morning on "Morning Joe" someone (I think Jonathan Alter) said that, as a result of Obama's pledge to close down our Guantanamo prison for terrorists, no new prisoners have been sent there since Obama was inaugurated ... or to any other rendition location for that matter. And as a consequence, American forces have been killing those Islamic terrorist who have been captured ... just like that ultimate terrorist, Osama bin Laden, was recently tapped.
On one hand this decision appeals to my lust for revenge, but, just as logically, I have a problem with this apparent Obama policy. Without capture and interrogation (even torture when necessary) of these prisoners, from whence is our future deep intelligence going to come? And without this information, how are we eventually to win our war against Islamic extremists? And, even more ironically, isn't "two in the hat" the ultimate enhanced interrogation technique ... so decried by this administration?
