1. Huh? Need more coffee. What a day!

[HipChick]

2. This story has been out there for a while...hope she covers it tonight..

[triron]

6. Me too.

3. Wait. WTF?

4. He might as well provide measurements now for the orange jumpsuit. nt

[WinkyDink]

5. You call that a "freakout"? Kidnapping or worse a citizen of my state is a B.F. DEAL.

[PoliticAverse]

7. Green card holder not a US citizen. n/t

[WinkyDink]

8. He wasn't being targeted as an immigrant, but as a political opponent. FOR TURKEY.

10. okay, so kidnap away, then? LOL.

15. No, they're still treated ... in summary ... as a US citizen with limitations

[synergie]

16. But they're legal residents with rights, that Flynn was planning to violate, against US laws.

[PoliticAverse]

17. Even residents in the US illegally have certain rights (as determined by the Supreme Court

in several cases).

9. How did Turkey become such a mover and shaker in backroom deals?

I recall the same kind of shadyness in the Bush era. Is it Erdogan cleverness in leveraging the strategic position of Turkey in the anti-ISIL fight? Is that it?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. Because our whole fucking system is for sale to anyone with the money and inclination.

[AngryAmish]

11. Oh FFS, Gullen is a cancer.

I would not turn him over but that grifter should be expelled. He is an undesirable alien. Send him somewhere out of Turkey's hands.

[wiggs]

12. When I see nefarious Turkey stuff I think of Sibel Edmonds. nt

[WinkyDink]

14. I hope you're watching "Rachel" right now.
