Joe Kent, a top counterterrorism official, resigns citing Iran war Kent said he "cannot in good conscience" back the Iran war. In his resignation letter, he says Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation."

Also, completely unrelated - as a Chicago resident I am compelled to ask you about your surname. How did it come to be??

and so were, in fact, potentially lethal. For example, shooting pepper guns at close range, etc.

It was also interesting to hear expert testimony a few weeks ago at the first IL Accountability Commission public hearing on the use of “less-lethal” weaponry.
