I'm sure, of course, the folk to whom this were done were all very bad men, so it's okay, and the US has still got its ethical superiority 'n all, and won't be seen as having been dragged down into the mud with the rest of the grunting, murdering psychopaths or nuthin'.
And certainly everyone's gonna get that the folk to whom this were done were all very bad men, and it's not gonna make anyone over there mad at anybody over this. Oh no, certainly this ain't gonna go into the curriculum at the Sharia schools or anything like that, nor radicalize the five guys left in the middle East who don't hate everything about the west. Nothing to worry about there.
Doctors. Yep. There's the picture we need. Hello, angry, disenfranchised young men and potential future Islamists... The enlightened west is here, with science, syringes, and catheters. We're here to help you... Let's not anyone get seduced by any eighth-century views of justice, when the 21st century approach is obviously so much better...
Said it before, I'll say it again: if these clowns are our spokespeople for the Enlightenment, the Englightenment is pretty much doomed.
