    It's a round, alright.

    A round in the head of democracy.

    Crowing about the rule of law while attempting to shame the electorate into believing the governing elite, including everyone in the chain of command responsible for torture, is above the law.

    It's bullshit.

    And I'm not surprised to see you glorifying it since you concur.

    All this transparency and rule of law.

    Lies.
