...save thousands of lives—as a justifiable reason to consider torture as a last resort. But to think primarily in terms of such TV scenarios is unrealistic given that we never have all the important pieces of information to make such judgments. In the experience of Army Col. Stuart Herrington, a military intelligence specialist who conducted interrogations in Vietnam, Panama, and Iraq during Desert Storm, torture is “simply not a good way to get information.” According to Herrington, nine out of 10 people can be persuaded to talk with...
...insurgents go where the presence isn't," he said. The U.S. military plans to go into towns where the insurgency has been active, secure them and establish "firm bases" in each one manned by U.S. and Iraqi troops. The plan, said Col.

It’s ludicrous that an action-comedy would try to proselytize in the first place. It’s downright hilarious given the number of historical errors it contains: Col. Beauregard talks about the “Confederate States” more than a decade before the Confederacy formed. Perhaps no one sees a Zorro movie for a history lesson, but it’s just as unlikely they see it for a political sermon. Likely, Zorro fans will still...
