Yup...we slid down that slope in Vietnam and it snowballed into a disaster real quick as a result. As soon as the enemy ceases to be fellow humans, we all lose. Do we really want to be as bad as the guys putting our troops through what Vietnam vets went through. Do we want to be as bad as the guys beheading people in Iraq? There is a reason we need to take the high road and not do that. The Geneva Conventions were a great step forward in reducing some of the overkill like we saw in WWI. The fact that torture does not produce reliable info is something that has been known for a very long time....yet we still do it. Talk about the definition of insanity...

I think that this is an example of a leader who *thinks* he is putting his career on the line to look out for his troops when really he is doing an awful, immoral thing for reasons that don't stand up to the light of day because he's lost his moral compass and got caught up in his own head games. That's where we lose wars.
