The way you're treated by your captors has a lot to do with how well you behave, or don't.
I don't believe for one minute our side went, "Name, rank, serial number and oh, by the way, before you head for your bed, grab this towel, put it over your head and we'll see you on the other side of that sound-proof wall."
The press and the left-leaning loonies in Congress have their undies all bunched up over less than a dozen individuals that would have been pushing daisies if their original captors had been anyone else than Americans.
Let's not forget that WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS, and no one will be any better than what we have in the field, put on the field, and have buried in those fields.
And, again, if it takes waterboarding, fingernails on a blackboard, coffee-enamas or GAWD-KNOWS-WHAT...so be it...we're alive because someone else is doing a job that no one else wants to do...and they are already an American, to boot!

Your objectivity is, uh, lacking.
We are the good guys? Oh really? Do you think anyone else on the planet is under that impression about themselves?
Your post a few days back about the only reason we lost Vietnam was because commies in the US had free speech was another one that wasn't really worth a response.
Clueless, utterly clueless. I saw barefoot peasants being bombed in their rice paddies. A few naive souls at the time like myself had thoughts that went something like, WTF?!?!?!?
Most of us knew next to nothing about that country or what was going on, but plenty were convinced that it was time to nuke the gooks to show them who was boss. Thank God cooler heads prevailed.
The interrogator I spoke of was on NPR's Fresh Air, so of course it was lying BS. Worked in Vietnam and the middle east. I can't find the link. Would you listen to it if I did?
Do your own research. You might make a move towards rationality a few lifetimes from now.
