The lengths they will go to cover up their own trafficking. I've heard like dissolves like, but never in a million years did I think it would be used in such a disturbing and disgusting way.

I have my own theory, as a child of missionaries and a pastor to boot...

See, mere sin isn't enough for these people. They have to over-egg the pudding with hypocrisy, too. I once knew an old prostitute who told me such people don't turn to whores for sex, it's the catting-around, the forbidden-ness of it all.

I agree. The forbiddeness and the getting away with it.

So, just an observation. If they're gonna have a whole carrier strike group out there, then surely the Navy can manage to *capture* those outboard-powered boats rather than using million-dollar weapons to blow them up, illegally kill people, and (just coincidentally) erase any evidence of whether they were or were not carrying drugs?
