Chris Holton of the Center for Security Policy reported this morning on the erroneous accusation against Haspel by ProPublica, which he said is partially funded by Soros. He added that Haspel wasn't even in Thailand during the reported incident.

He also didn't have kind words for Paul who only yesterday repeated the false report as though it were true as a reason for his not supporting her appointment.

Holton went on to say that "Paul would prefer a 'pacifist' in the position."

Well I had never heard of this guy, but his neocon fear-mongering is quite entertaining, albeit concerning since neocons haven't gone away yet.

I especially like his story on AL Jazeera when they launched in the US and he was arguing that it was going to be Jihadist propaganda. Then he later argued that they support the Shia Iranians, which the Jihadists like AL Queda and ISIS want to murder as well. And of course, he leaves out that they are banned in many of those Jihadist (Saudi Arabia) recruiting grounds.

He also has a lot of articles about some law called American Laws for American Courts to prevent "foreign laws and doctrine" to be used to infringe in constitutional rights, as if the Constitution itself doesn't already do that.

So he can call Rand a pacifist, but I'll take Rand's pacificism over his ignorant neoconservative views any day.

People like Holston hate Rand Paul because Rand exposes the lie that Republicans want limited government. At least Rand understands that limited government will never be achieved domestically when you have rogue groups like the CIA fomenting perpetual conflicts and wars around the globe that we inevitably get involved in both militarily and economically.
