<<Bill, Dennis is a fantasy writer.>>
<Could be...more fantasy?>

No, not 'could be'. Is. I pointed out an obvious untruth. Therefore, with the other things which I don't know about, I assume he is making them up too. They sound absurdly fanciful so it's best to take them with a grain of salt.

Are you saying you believe that human bodies explode if the person swallows petrol and it's lit at the mouth?

Or are you just ignoring the argument for the sake of propaganda? When something is untrue, there is a reason for the untruth. In circumstances like this, it's to demonize opposition for personal gain. Whoever started the falsehood that there are exploding bodies fully of petrol is a liar. Those who propagate it are their servants. Either ignorant servants or dishonest ones.

Remember Lt William Calley; there are horrendous people even on the good guy's side. Death of prisoners of war from blunt force injuries in Afghanistan sounds like torture to me. We hear of the USA passing Al Qaeda people to third parties who aren't too fussy about human rights during interviews. Best not to get too sanctimonious and self-righteous.

I wonder when Hu Jintao is due to get his first lecture about universal human rights from King George II. That'll be a giggle.
