To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Rahmanulla Lakanwal is the National Guard shooting suspect.
Interesting that there were 36 searches for his exact name.
4 hours before the shooting.
I bet Stephen Miller knows why.
