And Syria?

"The destruction of a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor last year was the result of an intelligence collaboration that included a 'foreign partner' who first identified the facility's purpose, CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden said on Tuesday." Hayden followed by saying, "We were able last year to spoil a big secret, a project that could have provided Syria with plutonium for nuclear weapons."

This has simply gone too far. What authority, legal or moral, does the CIA have to "collaborate" in the breach of a nation's sovereignty and subsequent destruction of its property? The CIA has also been sending unmanned drones into Pakistan to bomb targets. Last I checked, the United States Congress has a monopoly on the power to declare war. But who will enforce that clause? The men with the guns and bombs, of course! Oh, wait...

In liberty and peace,
