I was reading quite a few "anti-ALL-Muslims" rhetoric on DU yesterday/last night.

The inability to see except in shades of either-or., black or white, even here, is so much a part of the problem.

edited to add:

to re-iterate specifically what you pointed out:

"Jeremy Scahill in Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield, writes,
“By mid-2010, the Obama administration had increased the presence of Special Operations forces from sixty countries to seventy-five countries. SOCOM had about 4,000 people deployed around the world in countries besides Iraq and Afghanistan.”

I have that book.
