They're just past the end of the pier, those big things that aren't seals.

Well, for one example: Kissinger approved Operation Menu, which is estimated to have a death toll of at least 100.000 civilians, and this is just ONE operation. Operation Condor, an anti leftist repression campaign in the Americas, has an estimated count of 80.000 killed and 400.000 political prisoners. These are just specific cases: the "knife wounds" amongst the "amputated limbs" for an analogy.
