You would answer atrocity with atrocity and call it progress. Tell me, the families of those you "re-educate," do you expect them to allow you to do this without a fight? And others of conscience who object, will you imprison them too? How many would you murder to reach your ideological purity? When you're done, will you look in the mirror and recognize that you, too, are impure?

You're getting down voted on your top level comment, but I wanted to take a second to say I appreciate your back and forth here. I'm more inclined to call this incompetence, but your point that other motives and agendas could be at play is well taken.

Ah, I see. I don't think I agree, but I get the statement being made now.

How does this make them look even mildly competent? They _disclosed war plans to an unknown third party by using unsanctioned communication tools_. They got lucky it was a reporter who thought he was being baited rather than a more malicious and intentioned actor.

Callous reaction to what is a clear overstep on behalf of US CBP. Denying entry would have been a more efficient move than detainment, unless the cruelty is the point.
