> What is the difference between a "freedom fighter" and a criminal. From an older post of mine elsewhere... ST The way I am looking at it, either you think drug dealing and killing civilians is good or you don't. In the case of State Department, they say that it is good if the civilians you kill and the drug money you get are used to overthrow regimes that we do not like. That will make you a freedom fighter. If you just do it for personal gain, that makes you a plain criminal. And if you do it against our interests, that is terrorism. This shows a lack of principle. As you have pointed out the world changes. The people that CIA deals with do not (for the most parts). If I put myself in the middle of arms and drug trade, then I have no right to shout foul when it turns around and bites me. Total lack of accountability and moral fiber in foreign policy is the cause of all these backfires. We do not excuse it our personal lives, why is it so openly accepted in the government?
