"when did i advocate such a thing?"
Well the context of your comment "that’s not holding bullies up to the harsh judgment they so richly deserve" certainly indicates sympathy with O'Hehir's violent fantasy. You condone his rage so you may very well (but hopefully don't) subscribe to O'Hehir's version of judgement for Bush & Co.: kidnapping and torture.
"and are you disputing that detainees - who have not yet been tried - are being tortured?"
I made no comment on that subject and it is dishonest to introduce that idea. You can't defend O'Hehir's sentiments so you manufacture false one's and suggest that I hold them?
And I fail to see how my calling O'Hehir self-loathing and condemning his rage are hypocrisy, but nice try.
