[quote=TheManWithAUsername]This is a very interesting discussion. Thanks for starting it, Jeff, and for providing your perspective.

I think you are being a bit harsh on people. We don't have degrees in this field, and each of us only has so much time for independent research.* Personally, this story never would have gotten my attention - I'm much more concerned about the harm done millions of U.S. citizens through our economic policies.

I'm skeptical that the assassination slope is that slippery. Roughly the same policies have been in place now for several years, and for the majority of those they were administered by war-mongering liars. If there's been escalation, it hasn't been significant as far as I can tell. I say that as someone very cognizant of the interment camps,** the imprisonment of Eugene Debs, and other outrages committed against U.S. citizens in the name of security.

I'm not saying that this was OK, or even that well-intentioned. (I don't feel equipped to form an opinion yet, which is why I'm enjoying the discussion.)

*I understand that some were pretty harsh back (or first), but it still seemed to me like you came in with a bit of a chip on your shoulder.

**BTW, I don't think more specifically identifying the victims is racist. I gives context, specifically the racist nature of the interment itself.[/quote]
