Kettle: Calling the Pot Black

Let’s take a look at USGOV policy as it presently stands.

We will send a drone aircraft armed with a hellfire missile into a country with which we have no declared war and will fire that missile into a house where people are discussing – whatever, they’re all killed including innocent women and children. We fly away. That’s cool.

The CIA operates under specific Congressional mandates and with considerable oversight and today we call putting terrorists under duress, “torture”. We didn’t break bones, we didn’t pull teeth, we didn’t pull fingernails. We played loud music, took their clothes and shouted at them – sometimes using harsh language. That’s not cool (today – it was very cool at the time)
