LIMBAUGH: From the UK Telegraph: “CIA interrogator threatened to kill children of September 11th mastermind. A CIA interrogator threatened to kill the children of Khalid Shaikh Mohamed if Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. again.” And this is a problem?

Would somebody explain to me what the problem here is? The guy has just killed 3,000 Americans. He is swearing and has sworn his life to killing as many Americans as possible. We say, “You do it again, you don't tell us what's coming, next we'll kill some of your kids.”

What's the problem here? Don't tell me that violates some tenet of torture according to the Geneva Conventions.
