I subscribe to the old adage “Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”. If waterboarding saves one innocent person from being summarily beheaded, a young schoolchild from being executed, or an innocent girl from being kidnapped and sold into slavery or prostitution, then I say “Dunk away!”, “Hang‘em high” and “Shake’em and awake’em”! And to save 72 virgins from being deflowered, I say we should take a page out of the book of one of our early Generals who (reputedly ) during the Barbary pirate days lined up 50 muslins, covered them with pig fat and executed 49 of them. The fiftieth was turned loose. Pirate problem solved!
In fact, I believe that every bullet we fire and every bomb we drop now should be coated with pig fat. I believe that to defeat a fanatic enemy who obeys no “rules of warfare” that you must take advantage of any chink in their armor to defeat them. Anyone care to donate to a “Pig Fat Fund”?
