re: #418 der_ich

I think you make valid points but aren’t you giving those professionals and the officers a carte blanche to basically “advise” and do anything loathsome and immoral they find necessary or worthwhile ? What about - just to take it to an extreme - a legal advice to kill terrorist A to pressure terrorist B?

You seem to assume that these professionals from the past Bush administration would have totally disregarded the law and the Constitution in order to support the indefensible and/or in order to support an illegal policy.

Pretty loathsome assumption, methinks.
