Yes, because... 'eye for an eye'

 

Terrorists would have no qualms about torturing anyone that opposed their plans and beliefs so why not return the 'favour'? Indeed there have been many examples of terrorist organisations capturing and torturing those who try to interfere with thier plans, so it is justifiable that we do the same, as our end goal is the correct one. The terrorists must pay!

 

This sentiment displays everything that is wrong with contemporary thug mentality. 'They hurt us so we'll hurt them' is not an attitude that can be condoned, and if one must rely on hackneyed sayings to debate important political issues then surely 'two wrongs don't make a right' is more appropriate here! How can we condemn the terrorsists action if we ourselves use fear and intimidation to get our way?
