No, I have spent years thinking about this problem, ever since I became aware of the way suspected terrorists were treated by my government. > Erik's probably not > capable of it, but I would appreciate it if you > actually tried to answer my arguments instead of > making accusations like this. We can agree to disagree about Erik's capabilities. But Gautam, I have been answering your arguments - if I'm not mistaken, you are the one who's not answering my arguments. Secondly, what I said above was not in response to an argument but a question I interpreted as a dig, especially given the context of that particular conversation. Still, the last two sentences of what I *did* say were both rude and unnecessary and I regret saying them. Fwiw, you have my apologies.
