Do you believe that every prisoner that has been subject to "alternative interrogation methods" has been someone a) interested in our destruction, b) having important information that, if known by us quickly, would save lives, and/or c) in a position to act upon their desire to see our destruction?

I do not believe that our otherwise excellent personnel in the heat of the situation were capable of 100% certainty as to who anyone was and what they knew or wanted to do.

I do not want our captured soldiers subjected to the same forms of interrogation. You may say they will be anyway, but by our actions we have removed all doubt.
