Tags: Continuous, Threat, WorldwideThe concern we have is that if somebody from our side gets captured they are going to get their throats slit.
Tags: Concern, Side, SomebodyThe more we captured, the more we learned and eventually it destroyed the organization that attacked us on 9/11 and allowed us to get bin Laden.
Tags: Destroyed, Eventually, LearnedWe got a lot of information from the detainees that eventually led us to bin Laden.

Tags: Felt, Military, TrainingThe actions we took in the aftermath of 9/11 were harsh but necessary and effective. These steps were fully sanctioned and carefully followed. The detention and interrogation of top terrorists like Abu Zubaydah, Khalid Sheikh Muhammed and Abu Faraj al-Libbi yielded breakthroughs which have kept this country safe.
