The Right Hand...
I just read a recent article about yet another secret prisoner camp in Cuba - one of ours, not Castros and some officer made a statement that displays a disturbing amount of single-minded thinking. While I certainly understand not needed or even wanting to know about some stuff, I worry about his total exclusion mode of thinking. Not knowing where Camp 7 is admirable in some ways, plausible deniability being one, but staying exclusively in one lane is a bit scary. It makes you wonder how many more times we're going to get hit by someone not driving along in their proscribed lane?
While some military personnel have reportedly grumbled about being kept out of the loop, others don't mind.
Army Col. Larry James, whose team of psychologists assists interrogators, said he does not want to know where Camp 7 is.
"I learned a long, long time ago, if I'm going to be successful in the intel community, I'm meticulously - in a very, very dedicated way - going to stay in my lane," he said. "So if I don't have a specific need to know about something, I don't want to know about it. I don't ask about it."
