It’s so frustrating how consistently thin and pathetic their justifications for these policies always are. The excuses like “any opposition to drones is a secret op by our enemies because we’re beating them with drones” is so ridiculous that it’s obvious the people writing it don’t believe it. We know they know these policies are evil but they wanna do it so they’ll make us whatever pathetic spin they can.
That they then classify only that part says they know we would know how pathetic that rationalization is, and how bad it would make the US look. Maybe, instead of hiding the reasons for doing evil to save face, they should just stop doing evil.
