Adm. Frank Murphy's defense of his second strike on a suspected drug boat is incomprehensible unless you accept the idea of "combatants" who are not engaged in combat.
Boat attack commander says he had to kill 2 survivors because they were still trying to smuggle cocaine

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.
