Have to agree here. It's not just similar, it's flagrantly identical, to the recent Congressional debates on the use of "torture" by US interrogators. Start with something that everybody agrees is horrible and awful (electrodes to the genitals, dental work, etc), and generalize it to any form at all of agressive or forceful interrogation more intrusive than polite questions, until the general public is told that depriving prisoners of television priveleges constitutes "torture".
The only conclusion I can come to is that those behind it deliberately and maliciously wish to strip us of the tools we need to prosecute a war against fanatics who want us all DEAD and will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Which is what really pisses me off about this 'fic, because he's casting Buffy in exactly that role while at the same time making her the "hero" of the piece.
Can we just line her up right next to the NID fuckwits and shoot them all?
(Oh, and I keep waiting for Buffy to suggest bringing Willow in to look at the Xerxes code... after all, she's the hot-shit computer genius...)--
"I give you the beautiful... the talented... the tirelessly atomic-powered...
