How about we get a timeline for Marine Paul Whelan? Espionage is just justification for him to be released - that's an American hero. Could we also get a timeline for the "Merchant of Death"? Let's get the full story out there. Also, if they're going to let her go for "weed" possession... might as well get everyone out of our jails for the same offense. She better be saluting the flag every game. Sadly, she'll be on tour soon enough, telling her sad sob story. Make your bed, sleep in it.

You likely heard this take from some big corporate “news” talking head or politician, & assumed you were being given correct information, instead of misinformation & propaganda to make you angry.
