Hopefully through humane interrogation they can determine what the brother's motivation was & if there were possibly others involved. I'm so glad they were able to capture at least one of them alive.

I agree. I do not believe that torture results in any kind of solid results and it puts the actor of this kind of behavior in the same or similar category as the people whose values we have been fighting against for so long.
It is important to find out if this was just two lone wolves or a terrorist cell which might have other plans.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Thomas Paine all supported the fair and decent treatment of even our enemies. Both the Redcoats and Hessian mercenaries were treated with decency and respect. Our Founding Fathers did this even though more American soldiers died as prisoners than died on the field of battle. They knew that American ideals meant something, and that fair and decent treatment was not only the right thing to do but the practical thing to do (many Hessian mercenaries stayed here and became loyal American citizens, for instance). Surely we can learn something from the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.
