They try to make these things look like isolated incidents (when they even get mentioned at all... so far, I haven't seen these latest developments mentioned in any of the US media).

One of my friends who is a Marine and a Vietnam Vet, and who served in covert ops in Laos and Cambodia, said he he couldn't tell anyone about the things he did in those countries, but he hinted that they were terrible.

I asked him if it was one of those situations where he would have to kill me if he told me. He said, "No, if I told you, I would have to kill myself".
