This, Victoria L.--
“So you laud O'Hehir's rage at the fate of "unconvicted, untried people" and then attack me for calling O'Hehir a hypocrite when he describes dumping naked "unconvicted, untried people" in the middle of a harsh desert. You deserve a special hypocrisy award, a-ignatius.”
Is why I asked you
"and are you disputing that detainees - who have not yet been tried - are being tortured?"
To which you responded with--
“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?”
You called me a hypocrite on the basis of the idea that Bush Co. are ‘unconvicted and untried’and thus Andrew’s rage at the atrocities they’ve committed is unjustified. So by that logic, I guess we are to understand, then, that you feel that it hasn’t been proven that the detainees are being tortured under this administration– right? That’s why I asked you if you were disputing it. Your response? Oh, that you made no comment on the subject and it was *dishonest* to introduce that idea.
