27. I think this a sign
that the new Democratic congress needs to start looking into large defunding of the Air Force. After all, if they have time for things like this - with obvious potential to be used for torture, on US citizens, etc - then they have too much time, money, and personnel.

Provide enough money for salaries, maintenance expenditures, and other absolute necessities - nothing more. Make them submit a line-by-line budget to Congress, highlighting every projected expenditure of money, and then have Congress go through it and delete objectionables from the total. Do that and this kind of shit will soon cease.


It's so fucking transparent that torture and use on civilians domestically were the two things on the lips of those I've shown this to. "It'll be used on us."
