#1 About these no fly zones, what's to keep the bad guys from hanging out there?

Is this like "home" in a game of hide-and-seek?
Do the human shields work and better or worse?

Just seems dumb to me.

#2 I wonder if had a letter of introduction from Congressional Democrats, like Code Pink had.

#6 I wonder if had a letter of introduction from Congressional Democrats, like Code Pink had.

A letter, most likely. But more likely from another source:

two months after she sat down with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss foreign policy.

#7 Except with Trump, a military background seems to be plus, not a Zero.

I think there is a play on words in there, somewhere.

#8 Red resumés: Background in marching
Through styrofoam columns and arching;
In whitewash and hiding;
In ghostwritten writing;
In collars that needed no starching.
