Even if you assume they're drug runners and even if you think that warrants a death penalty, letting the government simply execute them without trial is a huge problem

I'm not fighting the hypothetical. I'm telling you why "it's good for the government to be blowing up drug dealers in the Caribbean" is an idiot's argument; that is NOT authority any government should have.

Ah, yes the carefree 80's.

But it does worry me a little bit to see military officials angry about Bradley being thrown under the bus without a concurrent acknowledgement that he did in fact commit an obvious war crime.

The American Executive took the power it has, because the Legislature unbecame it. And the Judicial allowed it.

Everything broke when the Legislature did. They were supposed to be people of power. And they gave it up to be unaccountable nothings.

Mike Johnson is the ultimate realization of this.
