That's quite a headline. But the article is mostly about delegations of authority (and that not in any real detail), a story of US contractors conducting assassinations, and one (1) corroborating opinion -- that corroboration in no detail, and almost certainly second-hand.
There's a paragraph about the "terrifying background", in absolutely no detail whatsoever.
This sort of thing has become a subgenre of its own, one where the documentation almost always falls well short of the promise.
People should think about what the cries of "Wolf!" are doing to our ability to spot truly documented and disturbing problems.
- knowaveragejoe 14y agoI fully agree. I got to the bottom and thought, "This is it?". There's absolutely no story about the guy. This article just serves to become more noise.
- pemulis 14y agoWhat do you mean? The "terrifying background" seemed pretty clear to me -- a federal organized crime task force believed that he was involved in seven murders as a drug enforcer in Miami before becoming a contractor for the CIA.
- justindocanto 14y agoThis. The title for this article is misleading.
