RE: Article 3

I understand it is an article of faith among you & your peers
that our gov't is eeeeeevil. I can understand how you can
read Article 3 & immediately see it as "proof" that we are in
violation of it since, in your mind, our gov't has no
legitimate reason whatsoever to send detainees to other
countries. It's your predisposition to assume the worst, then
turn those beliefs into firm conclusions despite the lack of
genuine evidence to support such conclusions.

As I said, I'm skeptical about renditions to countries that
have known human rights issues. The difference between us is
the lack of evidence & I prefer to draw reality based POV's
rather than inflexible, ideologically based opinions.

No doubt you didn't read the following article I posted on
this thread during this discussion. Or if you did read it,
with your predisposition to believe our gov't is pure
eeeeevil, you dismissed it out of hand......
