1. His point was that the Manning leaks revealed one war crime, not a trend. 2. Clapper is/was not a military official. 3. Being a former US Army infantryman, I have no clue what you are referencing with regard to an "explicit dou

Did nobody else notice the author claimed to be on acid at the time? That is an awfully vivid recollection of events for someone out of their mind on LSD. I highly doubt he remembers the event as clearly as he presents it, and it really beg
