you entire argument is based upon the presupposition that i condone/justify the US's actions... i roundly deny that. i won't address you or mehoni's "point" because they aren't points. they're built on what you wanted me to say, not what i said.
it is entirely reasonable to condemn two separate actions... yet consider one of those to be much worse than the other. i was clearly responding to posters equivocating the two.
i've clearly been characterized as someone who condones torture of human beings, letting dog's loose on prisoner's and that i might think torture is fine as long as the faces aren't shown. where i come from, that necessitates an apology rather than a rebuttal.
