OTOH, he has zero problem with the "Patriot Act" and torturers and war criminals (by our OWN definitions) running around loose and unprosecuted. Like Khadafy & Assad, and lot- too many- so called "progressives" buy the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" dumb philosophy. He's another tool of Empire, nothing more. Its just that in comparison, he seems sane.
I always appreciate you honest writings, Professor, and often pass them on to folks. And I think your assessment here is again an honest one, its the conclusion I don't share.....passing this along tho, to, to give my peeps something to talk over......
Watson hardly proposes a crackpot conspiracy theory, he merely points out the obvious. He certainly would be inconvenient to take prisoner....a potentially a big liability. Look at was done to try to free the RAF prisoners in Germany, before they were murdered by the W German State?
I have no trouble at all believing a group of SEALS could storm the place. I also have no trouble at all that this is about "freedom" or such malarky. Its all about the forces that call the Empires shots, northing more.

No, actually, in practice, American soldiers will not always accept surrender. See Viet Nam. See Iraq and Afghanistan.
