There are 1000 or so people being detained without cause right now in "free America" if that isn't freedom stripping what is? And NO MAJOR NEWS SOURCE will even question the reports or the motives in Afghan. Since Clinton was double guessed continuously for eight years in every military move, it seems odd that now no one has any issues. Perhaps they have all been directed to "shut up" ie "either you are with us or against us"
