    I have no problem with making

    our true enemies "disappear" during the night. It sure-as-shit beats invading countries. The anarchy of "international law" requires any country that wants to survive to have the capabilities for "black ops". That goes for the US, France, Tongo, Netherlands, Lichtenstein, ect. The problem occurs when you write it into law and make it Standard Operating Procedure like former President Fucknut did. A return to the pre-9/11 status is ok by me.
