What relevance does that have to the post it is offered in response to? It seems to me to be a pure strawman, rebutting a point that wasn't argued.

Just because you can't keep a history of more than 2 comments back in your head doesn't mean I have the same limitation. If you follow the thread from the top, you'll see that it refers to the notion of the USG "disappearing" its citizens. Guantanamo is a travesty, but it isn't that travesty.
Yeah, but that's not the claim that the post you responded to was about. If you want to talk about that, respond to someone who is debating you about that.

Just because you have a drum you want to beat doesn't make it sensible to keep beating it when its not relevant.
