    Are we to lower ourselves to the level of radical Islamists?

    We are supposed to be a country governed by the rule of law. Ours is not supposed to be a country of an "eye for an eye." When we lower our standards, when we torture and kill behind closed doors, before determining guilt or innocence, we are no better than the radical terrorists who claim to kill in the name of God and religion.
