This is one of those headlines that freaks me out, but ultimatly this meeting probably won’t effect me in any way. This keeps happening. I should just stop monitoring this stuff.
They don’t do this sort of thing. It’s very convenient for avoiding a paper trail though. Don’t need to send out a memo saying to gun down protestors, just tell them all to their faces.
One of the few things I trust the military to do is to have the high ranking officials know what constitutes an illegal order, and to ask for a written order to cover their own asses.
More trusting than I then. We will see.
Remember, I’m not saying they wouldn’t do it, just that they wouldn’t line up eyes open to take the fall if it goes sideways.
These are the people who in a very real sense give the government power against popular resistance. They’re not going to agree to commit a crime without at least an assurance that the people they’re doing it for go to the gallows with them.
Hell, the CIA put the name of the law they were violating right in the orders multiple times.
