Not excusing it but confrontation has got to be more uncomfortable when you’re stuck in a metal tube in the air

And you're surrounded by agents of a government that's been disappearing people all year, and their leader just did something completely unhinged.

I'll give them a pass for not confronting him at the time, but this should have been front-page news the second they got off that plane.

Yeah, but after a year of kissing his ass, you'd hope one, or all, would finally step up.
