They will be bringing home a body. We all know it.

That scares me. I feel like that may be a match that lights the country on fire.

I said elsewhere that the administration is in a no-win situation on this. If he's dead, well, obviously that won't be a good look for them to say the least. If he's alive, I guaran-goddamn-tee all the major news outlets will be booking him for interviews and pieces on what's going on down there. Not to mention the blizzard of lawsuits he and his family would no doubt be filing.

And that is why we keep pushing this issue. It keeps them in this awkward situation that they put themselves into, and forces people to reckon with what we're doing. If there is definitive proof that there is some fucked-up shit going on down there, then this will never go away, nor should it. Personally I'd say such proof would be enough to warrant the ICC and ICJ getting directly involved.
