“Many years ago, when I was practicing law in Texas, I learned that there were, generally speaking, two types of lawyers …. The first type of lawyer would carefully research the issue and give his honest, independent-minded opinion as to the legality of the proposed action, even if it wasn’t what the client wanted to hear. … The second type of lawyer would instead come up with whatever legal reasoning was necessary to please the client …. When it comes to President Trump’s and the Pentagon’s extra-judicial drug-war killings in the Caribbean, there is little or no doubt that the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice falls into the second category.” (11/18/25)
