Al-Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed claims he was mistreated

Khalid Sheik Mohammed was an Al-Qaeda leader and has been responsible for over 30 terrorism plots including Sept 11, 2001. He's now claiming that he has been mistreated and abused during the three years he was in CIA custody. - Washington Post First things first, if we didn't mistreat him, we should have. This is not the same kind of war that the Geneva Treaty was drawn up for. This is a thugs war with no laws. After all, having laws to guide the boundaries of war and prisoners only works if both sides play by the same rules. And when you have their side decapitating our reporters, I don't think we should be holding the hands of the prisoners we take in until they decide to freely give us the information they know.

Someone so sick in the head to be responsible for even half of the acts that Khalid says he has planned should have to endure unending pain until their last breath. America has become soft, we've decided that because we are free and have rights, that everybody else deserves them too. People are forgetting that we had to earn our rights through bloodshed and tears. They were not simply given to us, and shouldn't be given to anyone else without their earning them either. Without the sacrifices, the rights and freedoms lose their meaning. They simply become laws to hide behind. Which is probably why so few Americans appreciate what we have anymore. They've all forgotten the sacrifices made, and how we earned our rights to begin with. War is not always bad, the results of war are not always bad, its the people that don't understand the need for war that cause the majority of the problems rooted around wars. The war we face is one we must win at all costs, play fair or don't, we will risk all the freedoms we have gained in our reactions to the challenges we will face in the years to come.
