Want to take the opportunity to call out the State Department for replying to my question on whether the dead Americans were CIA with "Off the record, we have nothing to add at this time..." Off-the-record is not achieved by unilateral decree, it requires a negotiation between source and reporter.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
