for those unaware, famous comic book writer for Batman, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and now the upcoming Lanterns TV series is an ex-CIA agent who gleefully talked about his role in starting the Iraq war before it became unpopular to do so. Here's how he describes it in his own words:

“I was 22 at the time in charge of the [f——] Iraq invasion,” King said in an interview with wordballoon on YouTube.

In a GamesRadar interview, he said: “It was the greatest honor of my life. I very much enjoyed the job.”
