We are SO damaged by this. In every way imaginable! Morally! Ethically! Mentally and physically damaged. This was done in our name and on our dime. So we are ALL besmirched by it. Damn them! And not one word of regret from them either. They're proud of this!

What little I have to be proud of is how I was among those of us standing against this and fighting against this.

So utterly horrifying and shameful. Disgraceful and disgusting and sinful! And we really can't say this isn't America anymore, either. Because it IS. These bastards have taken that away from us too!!!
