feature, Quote
of
the
Day

This
isn’t
legal
analysis.
It’s
idiocy.

comments
given

on

concerning
the
Trump
administration’s
apparent
stance
that

electric
plants
are
“legitimate
military
targets”

because
their
destruction
could
complicate
Iran’s
development
of
a
nuclear
device
due
to
civil
unrest.
