Opportunity knocks all the time‚ but you have to be ready for it. If the chance comes‚ you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.” This quotation teaches us that our talents and abilities should go hand – in – hand with every opportunity that comes our way.

I do not think that many people will give up their country‚ or group of people out to not be tortured. It is cruel‚ scary‚ and it will hunt a person for the rest of their life’s. Many people have committed crimes and terror attacks and they deserve to be put away for life. I strongly agree with the CIA for
