  How poignant. One supposes the "war on those people"
  is far more justifiable in "torture". But that is called
  "dealings with the likes of you". Cough.

  Always a good reason to murder.
  Especially if it's passive-aggressive emotionally-driven
  energetic leeching.

  But if one wears the right uniform one can always appear "concerned".
