that's interesting, so when the state pressures someone to talk , cooperate via threats of jail, loss of money, social statues or family that's okay but for the state to pressure a known terrorist via a little mental manipulation for information that will alter the course of events and save many lives.... that's not okay? see what I mean....?
BTW I don't consider armed terrorist caught in the act to be in a 'lawful situation'... i.e. the law or American Citizen rights do NOT apply
