The First Half

When it became obvious that the Obama administration was going to handle terrorist suspects with kid gloves, giving them civil rights they certainly don't give us, we made a prediction. We predicted that fewer of the "bad guys" would be taken prisoner. We were right.

This article in The Los Angeles Times reports that the CIA is conducting fewer interrogations. What it doesn't say is the other half of our prediction, namely that our troops would take fewer prisoners by not allowing surrenders. Don't be surprised when this second part is finally reported. It is a logical consequence of prisoners not being valuable.
