SPIN DOCTOR! SPIN DOCTOR! HELP ME!
My heart aches for the families involved and those affected by the end result of this tragedy.
It makes me sick to watch the media throw out the denials of the support aircraft being military. It's not important WHAT the aircraft was, other than it being a U.S. law enforcement aircraft (allegedly) in a foreign land doing far more to kill competition in the drug trade, as opposed to stopping drug traffic into the U.S..
With a moments thought, it is obvious that the U.S. aircraft would do far more good stopping drug flights across the U.S. borders. But, actually stopping the traffic is not the point, so the assets are alternately deployed.
The journalists know the inside scoop, so they asked the CIA for comment - there was none. Reading between those lines, the Agency would be otherwise expected to assert that they are not involved, therefore, unable to provide any information. Well, guess what the truth is???
