During the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American government authorized "enhanced interrogation techniques" to obtain answers for potentially life-threatening situations from those in custody of U.S. forces. Harlow argues that this policy was contrary to Scripture and the just war tradition established by Augustine, Calvin, Murray, and Ramsey. Here Harlow:

- encourages Christians to use the same criteria for decisions about national security policy that they use for other moral issues.
