This is probably the first cabinet pick that made me say to myself "right on!"

Hopefully he'll be able to get the rule waver for not being far enough out from retirement.

He is against torture.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

You have to capture someone alive in order to torture them.
I don't think he's a big fan of live capture techniques
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

He seems to be of the classic Marine mold - kill 'em all and let God sort them out.
