Proof of Life...

is a term that is used in hostage taking.  Hostage taking is a tool of terrorists.  Torture has been a tool against terrorists.  Noting these as such is not an endorsement or argument.  But...
what is the word and when does it change? 

CIA Director Brennan:  word[!]
/ Pelosi: will of words (?)
(/)will of the people: Rumsfeld/Cheney
(fn)viscous cycle

[!] I think Brennan made a very nuanced and carefully parsed review of the so-called Torture Report.
There is a sense of E.B. White and M.C. Escher in this 4mat.  Let alone Cromnibus.

 

Hint(/)Rib [!].


[Note: E.B. > Elements of Charlotte.
M.C. > not exactly !]
