Umm... when have I done any of this?

We shouldn't let America's enemies hamstring us with our own laws, especially when they'd nuke one of our cities without hesitation.

Capture, exploit, and execute. That will send them a message...one they understand perfectly well.

Why should their actions have any effect on how we conduct ourselves? We treated the Nazis fairly well most of the time.
