Fascinating how quickly the "war on terrorism" has now become the "war on narcoterrorism."
Media did nothing to hold accountable the administrations who ignited and perpetuated the made up "war on terror" and now they sit as complicit stenographers for the made up "war on narcoterror." What a shame

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

I prosecuted international drug trafficking organizations for the Justice Department. In fact, for years one of my cases was listed as the #1 noted case on DOJ's Special Operations Division website.
But killing people with no trial or due process is wrong. It is cruel and degrades America.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Racism aside, the problem with "it's not stolen, it's conquered" is that attitude is nothing but "killing you is an acceptable way to take your stuff" and I'm pretty sure that's bad. "I didn't steal your car, I conquered it" would, uh, not hold up at trial.
