His statements at the time obtained by various authors via FOIA


requests fought vigorously by multiple subsequent administrations reveal --at best--callous disregard for the loss of civilian life in pursuit of nebulous policy goals, with nebulous rational connection to even those nebulous goals.

I've now said all I'm going to say about this except a) the evidence, incomplete as it is because of stonewalling to this day, is out there; b) it's damning; c) the amount of resistance in media and therefore popular opinion regarding this is astonishing.

I mean we're talking multiple Hiroshimas and Nagasakis here, cumulatively--Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, East Timur, Bangladesh, Chile, the list goes on.

That's it from me on this topic, probably to the general relief of everyone else on this board.
