Oh, let's see, Jacob rants about the US running Buchenwald in Guantanamo Cuba because two men died in captivity in Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, and I ask him whether he might find that a bit embarrassing, and you don't like that, so you want me to shut up, is that about it? What was it that you didn't like? The rant about Buchenwald? No, that was OK. The mistake of fact, confusing Camp X-Ray with Baghram Air Force Base? No, that was OK. My pointing out to Jacob that he made a mistake, and might consider checking his facts before he embarrassed himself further in the future? Must be this, nothing else left. So what exactly are you defending? The right to make material mistakes of fact in public without being called on it, and embarrassed? Sorry. If someone wants to accuse my country of running concentration camps, I am going to insist that they get their facts straight, or point out to them that they haven't.
