CIA doing best to protect you and me

To the editor:

I have to weigh in on the controversy over the inhumane treatment of the terrorists who cut off heads and kill innocent children. There are bleeding hearts for every issue, but we are at war, people. ISIS has proved that they are murderers of the most evil magnitude.

I served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. I spoke with a former veteran who was a helicopter pilot during that war. When his unit got a Viet Cong prisoner, they would take him high above a body of water and interrogate him. After sufficient water boarding the prisoner was thrown out the door to become fish food. Maybe this is a more humane way to handle these killers. The CIA got it right. They are doing their best to protect you and me.
