Speaking as a veteran, one who was enlisted and part of MI, I can say I agree. There's a helluva lot people will never know. And not every citizen has the right to know everything, according to laws already in place.

I just want to know how easy people think it is to go into hostile countries and extract US citizens from terrorist camps to bring them home for trial - and just how much evidence could possibly be brought back. I mean, really??? Sometimes people don't think it through.

Those countries don't even admit the camps are there, much less their purpose or the presence of American citizens. To me, it's a seriously ridiculous proposition. And that's just supposing we, the U.S., have no worries about exactly what the American citizen might be providing TO the terrorists. People always assume they aren't providing them with information that could be dangerous to us.

The DOJ sure has been a disppointment under Obama/Holder. HooptieWagon Feb 2013 #1
