Quote of the Day

Jay Ambrose, writing in the Washington Examiner, and attributing the underlying thought to CIA Director Michael Hayden:

CIA agents once played rough with possibly 30 terrorists, and maybe they shouldn't have, but they saved American lives that way. And if you say no, no, a thousand times no to playing rough in the future, you may be saying yes to thousands of deaths.

The quote states the dilemma as clearly as possible: the dilemma is real, the "thousands of deaths" are dead Americans.
