My problem has been reading the last few days about the released report and the shock shown, the righteous indignation shown about how we treated folks who have already killed, assisted in killing, etc. that were captured. Then hearing almost NO indignation about the killing by the US with drones. Not even reported much but we have specials on the treatment of prisoners.
Seems to me this is more political than real. I support both the drone attacks and also doing what is necessary to get information from folks who have a mission to kill my fellow americans.
How can you be so publicly outraged..so "embarassed" by our treatment of killers in captivity and so blase about killing possible innocent citizens ?

I agree that the outrage may be more political than real. I do not have faith in our president. I do not think that he has a sincere bone in his body. He has a plan for us. A plan that most of us reject now and will at the next election.
Do not misunderstand me. I do not care one bit about how we treat terrorists, un-uniformed combatants or bottom feeding scum sucking Muslims who wish me and mine ill. I would be fine with the death of a thousand cuts or the bamboo shoot up the butt. Bamboo shoots grow a foot per night.
We will not be defeated on the battle field. We will not be defeated in our homes. It was they who declared war on us. We are within our rights to inflict such horrendous punishment upon our enemies that they will never dare to cross our paths again.
All of this is meant with love and turning the other cheek.
