There are a number of issues regarding our foreign policy currently and it is interesting to see which one is getting most of the play. First, there is the issue of sexual assaults by members of our armed forces upon female personnel they work with and the lack of executive action to correct or punish such attacks. Second, is the evidence of the US policy of torture of prisoners that came out during the confirmation hearings for Brennan as CIA director. The talk on that issue was about drones and their targets but nothing about torture as a element of US policy. Third, is the ongoing issue of the deaths of four Americans-one an ambassador-in Libya at the consul office in Bengazi. Guess which of these three the conservatives want to talk about to the exclusion of the other two? I don't think I have to answer that question.
