Well, I'll just say that apart from your original quote (which I strongly disagree with in regard to what was, in my opinion, a clear program of torture instituted by the Bush administration---the fault there is all on the side of the many apologists here and in the US media who minimize it, not the people who call it for what it was). My comments were generalities about anyone who claims that the US has not engaged in torture. I didn't ascribe any other opinions to you personally. Specifically, my last comment about innocents swept up in the "war on terror" is a separate question and it wasn't intended to be directed at you --- it reflects my anger at what the BUsh admistration did while in office.
