As far as I know, prior to 9/11 there was no coercive interrogation of any Al Qaedistas and yet, those homicidal freaking religious fanatics bombed embassies and apartments for a good number of years before they flew into buildings and began decapitating prisoners of war. They haven't read your behavior book yet. Might want to clue them in that their whole causal game plan is bass-ackwards.
The standard line I hear from the John Yoo fan club is something like: 'If they're not going to play by the rules, why should we?'

Well uh, cuzzin' if we don't we demonstrate to them and the world that we're no better than them. Bringing about advancement in the behavior of others is not easy but one of the methods that is known to work is: model correct behavior.
