How to Interrogate Terrorists

Heather Mac Donald writes this lengthy article for City Journal in which she argues that we have allowed political correctness to seriously undermine our ability to get information from captured Islamofascists. Terrorists are not covered by the Geneva convention and for good reason since they seek to undermine every rule of civilization. The terrorists themselves have chosen not to conduct themselves according to the rules of war. Thus they are not subject to the ordinary protections which would apply otherwise. We need to take off the gloves when dealing with them. They are not going to cooperate with our interrogators unless we are allowed to use forceful methods of getting information out of them. As Heather Mac Donald shows, the PC methods just don't work with bloodthirsty killers bent on destruction.
