I find politicians who call for sanctions worse than ISIS...or USIS...

We sometimes disagree but I completely agree with you here and I'm sorry you went through that, from one person to another. Especially during that time there was little accountability. You were one of the strong ones, obviously but there were weak ones you must remember. People who did not deserve what happened.
