in Iraq and Afghanistan, those extraspecial confidential sources are apparently immune to being "outed" for providing bogus "intelligence" when it turns out the raids/air strikes targets were "mischaracterized" or just bogus....
Under the heading of "there but for fortune go you and I..." I was wondering who should be targeted by "us" for phone calls demanding due process and transparency of proceeding and release of the hall/staging area/resources ...
thoughts? It could be there was some loud mouth wacko (agent provocateur, on payroll) who provided "intelligence" mandating "action" ... that old ticking bomb, what if he's telling the truth????? scenario.
Still demands for swift, due process, restitution of property, etc. might create enough "whole world is watching" self-consciousness to help keep "Homeland Security" stormtrooper fantesties in check ... where I suspect everyone wants to be the hero
