"and living up to a pledge given in his first statement on the job, his public comments have been unflinching: condemning the “meanspirited house of blood” of the Islamic State’s extremists; denouncing Sri Lanka’s outgoing government for obstructing the work of an inquiry into war crimes allegations". Wow. How much courage does it take to attack ISIS and also the government of Sri Lanka? This man is quite daring and deserves a courage award. The New York Times falsely claimed in the article that criticized the US for the torture report. He did no such thing. He in fact praised the US for releasing the report as if the US government released the report willingly.
