But you automatically, consistently, find a way to deny, minimize, explain away, and demand an impossibly high standard of proof, when the U.S. Army does the exact same thing. Ah, Jacob, you're going off the deep end. I don't think I've ever done such a thing, but you are welcome to find examples of this kind of thinking. It would not be in character but by all means show me if I have done so. As far as the Canadian journalist who died from a fractured skull after being detained by Iranian security forces, I would say that the death by trauma of an otherwise young person while held by security forces raises the possibility of a crime and that such a possibility probably exceeds the one created by the death of an overweight middle aged previously diagnosed cardiac patient, like Abbas, even if his death also took place while he was in custody. I'm not ready to unequivocally say that a crime has been committed in both cases, though I would agree that the possibility of a crime being involved in the journalist's death are higher. There could be an innocent explanation.
