"Bush didn't make people die or disappear" Whether he did because of race isn't really the point. He had the power to. All he had to do was declare someone was a terrorist or sympathizer, without any criteria as to what those terms meant, and poof! Exactly who got disappeared or why, we don't know. It is classified. What we do know is at least some people got vanished because their name was similar to someone else. "It is ad-hominem to say or imply the arguments they are making are false or invalid because of any real or imagined agenda you think they have. " Their agenda is very real. And it is pretty easy to prove that it influences their published work. While they did do decent work in the beginning, lately that has changed. To the point that they have dismissed fellows because they have written something that deviated from the party line. And that renders pretty much everything they do as suspect. Because they have proven that ideology triumphs. That isn't an ad hominem. It is reality. And grounds for dismissal or their work because of it.
