That's already pretty crowded as it is, and I don't like crowds. Here's what hit me reading this article though. We have the President of the United States taking accountability for hostages killed in a war zone. Such things do occasionally happen, especially in war zones. He promises protocols will be examined to ensure this does not happen again. I agree, wholeheartedly, hat's off to you sir. My question is this....If protocols should be examined in deaths of nonparticipants in a war zone because those deaths simply should not be acceptable to moral people, :bong-2: why then, sir, are the deaths of US citizens on US soil at the hands of US and state police forces so often excused by the government as acceptable because they were within procedure (protocols?)? :bong-2: Not pointing any fingers, just askin'. Seems kinda odd though don't it?
