Start a new thread on the subject and we can discuss it.

I would raise the issue of the capacity of the enemy forces in question, proportionality, likelihood of success, the potential impact on non-combatants, and other battlefield issues....and acknowledging the fact that the enemy is "stateless" which raises an entirely new set of questions.

But it is an entirely separate discussion from torturing captives in your total control.
