My solution? Due process, a proper day in court and justice as determined by the law. But torturing a man for 10 years for revenge?

Punish him? Sure - give him his day in court and punish him to the full extent of the law. And yes, this is a bad dude who has no doubt done many bad things - but we have to be better than that. If we cast off the trappings of civility, we sink to their level.
Stop making excuses for mass murderers.
Remind me, who initially trained this group of mass-murdering knuckle draggers? Oh, that's right the United Fucking States. We taught them everything they know so that we could wage a proxy war on the Soviets. Now it's come to bite us in the ass.
So I see your down with that whole torture thing, huh?

This is a serious cop-out and a false dichotomy.
Why? Because there is NO technical reason we have to give up a reasonable expectation of privacy just because we are using technology. Technology makes it easier to invade someone's privacy, but there is nothing inherent in using technology that can't co-exist…
It is more than a tired argument, it is also overly simplistic and a bit narrow minded.
This is such a tired argument.
