Harsh interrogation OK

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and other clueless Senate Democrats recently released a report castigating CIA enhanced interrogation of high level Islamic terrorists. This report, was released not only to the American public but also to Islamic fundamentalist terrorists worldwide.

Feinstein released the report knowing full well that in so doing the report could and most likely would result in increased terror activity around the world.

In fact, in anticipation of such reaction of terrorists, the Democrats called for a call-up of 1,000 Marines — unbelievable, but not surprising, knowing how naive Democrats think.

Regarding enhanced interrogation techniques, no matter how egregious, after receiving these so-called tortures, the individual is still alive. Compare this to terror technique of flying a commercial jetliner into a building, the Twin Towers — where 3,000 people did not survive.

In the past few years, about a half-dozen news journalists were beheaded by terrorists. More recently ISIS terrorists raped and beheaded four girls under age 15 because they refused to convert to Islam.

I'm sorry I do not share Feinstein's angst over our CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques, as I'm sure many others as well do not.

On a scale of 1 to 10 — 10 being the least sympathetic regarding harsh interrogation — put me down for a minus-10 in sympathy for these individuals.
