| The Intercept: The Crimes of Seal Team 6 |
| 2017-01-12 |
| Make your own determination on this one. I have determine that ST6 has been engaged in spycraft and is therefore absolved of any crimes. About the author: Matthew Cole has covered national security since 2005 for U.S. television networks and print outlets. He has reported extensively on the CIA’s post-9/11 transformation, including identifying and locating a secret CIA prison in Lithuania used to interrogate al Qaeda detainees. Since 2005, Cole has traveled extensively in Afghanistan and Pakistan to cover conflict and investigate U.S. intelligence operations. For the past six years, Cole has worked as an investigative producer for ABC and NBC News. At each network, Cole broke several stories of global significance. Among the subjects he has reported on are Blackwater’s covert work with the CIA and JSOC; the Raymond Davis affair in Pakistan; the death of Osama bin Laden; missing Libyan surface-to-air missiles after the fall of Qadaffi; classified CIA documents related to its drone program; and a SEAL Team 6 raid in Somalia. For NBC News, Cole worked closely with Glenn Greenwald to report stories based on documents leaked by Edward Snowden, and secured the first and only American television interview of Snowden. |

| #8 In some areas, the instructions were to not make contact, to run and hide and to gather intelligence. The instructions also said that if forced into a shoot'em up, to take no prisoners and leave no witnesses. How much more criminal is that than random and indiscriminate drone strikes that wash away good intelligence and send the enemy underground? Tell me Mr. Cole how is a Hellfire missile at 30,000 feet any better than face to face conflict with an adversary, I would say you are less likely to kill the innocent in person than with a drone. Fuck em, fuck all of them, screw this cabal of limp wristed sissies that want to run our national defense with rules pulled out of their asses with little or no knowledge of either the Geneva Convention or the true nature of the adversary. |

| #7 We're going to presently have to go take the similar steps here." A politician who knows that "presently" =/= "at present"? |

| #6 Isn't it great that so many named anti-American journalists want to publish their thoughts. Newt is going to be busy. |

| #4 Ever notice the Intercept only releases stories as primer ass coverings fodder and confuion tactics for only one group yet? Like the bullshit Snowden files etc how many people heard the same line noise on their phones or had isues decades ago they are listening that is what old washed up bingo hags do! Maybe the Intercept should do a story on why none of the networks have covered victory parades for all the free liberated people American troops should feel horrible that they are not getting the face time and pomp and glory for all of these humanatarian actions of putting down despots in countries with no debt free medical and free education let them relate their stories reward them protect them cuz if the track record stays the same some real big not powerful country somwhere attempting to have free medical no debt and free education for al might need to be overthrown I mean invaded! Plus everyone loves a parade and Wolf Blitzer can lead it along with the psyop units from the networks! |

| #1 For NBC News, Cole worked closely with Glenn Greenwald One step removed from Seymour Hersh in the nutbag conspiracy department, if you ask me. |
