My concern is oversight... power corrupts, ya know? Power with a skewed perspective is very dangerous when it's corrupted.

Just taking the fight to the bad guys. I have no problem with it. Glad they are doing it. I still don't buy the "death squad" lable.

How do you know they are only.... uh, neutralizing, bad guys?

Bad guys? Its a lot more complicated then that. I get very suspicious when there is a clear cut good versus evil.

Well, you're clearly not a good republican.

You don't buy the 'death squad' label because like a good extremist conservative, you therefore magically know? You need not say why you know. Because you are an extremist conservative, then we should trust you to know? Others have suggested 'death squad' simply by using lessons from history. But TheMercenary magically knows 'death squads' will not happen. Zieg Heil? Is that why you magically know? Is that why you repeatedly ignore the question?

As piercehawkeye45 demonstrates, only you can be trusted to know which are the good guys and which are the bad.
