The Administration announced the assassination, if you will, of Islamic State top leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Given the barbarity and authoritarianism of the Islamic State, it seems well-deserved, although to those given to favor such a way to organize a nation, his tactics may have seemed justified, and his death a blow.
But, and I say this with a degree of sadness, what came first to mind was this:
In the coming days, how will the information from non-Administration sources deviate from the information delivered by President Trump and his minions?
The video in the above link seems to be only part of the announcement – this CNN post has a link to a longer announcement. But that was my immediate reaction, and I think it’s sad that we have an Administration that is so untrustworthy that I look forward more to behind-the-scenes information than the official announcements.
