"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Sunday that aggressive interrogations of terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have foiled new terror attacks and saved American lives.

"The information we've gotten from terrorists that have been imprisoned has stopped other terrorist attacks," Rumsfeld told NBC's "Meet the Press."

"It's saved American lives and let there be no doubt about it," he emphasized.
Rejecting the claims of Bush administration critics who say that terrorist detainees are being systematically tortured, Rumsfeld echoed recent comments by White House advisor Karl Rove, saying the American people had a choice:

"Do you want to treat terrorists with indictments and trials here in the United States, or do you want to treat terrorists like terrorists, get them off the battlefield, keep them from killing people, find out everything you can so you can stop future attacks?"

The Pentagon chief expressed dismay that there was so much sympathy for detainees who would destroy America in a heartbeat if they could.

"The people, for example, in Guantanamo Bay, are Osama bin Laden's bodyguards. They're suicide bombers. They're terrorists. They're murderers and these are bad people. These are not good people."
