Don’t capture terrorists; kill them
Habeas corpus is Latin for “you have the body.” So give ’em the body:
But it is my belief that our conventional military and special-operations efforts should emphasize killing terrorists on the battlefield or in their lairs — conditions where it is entirely legal to do so. Taking these murderers prisoner should be an accident, not a goal.
Once a terrorist raises his hands in surrender, we must honor the pertinent conventions. But effective military and intelligence operations shouldn’t give him the chance to wave a white rag.
