Regardless, you have stated several times that your opinion is fact when that is not the case. How do you know about "active discussions" within the DoD? Anonymous sources in news articles you've read, I'm sure. The point is, you left out part of that story (i.e. Rumsfeld's response to those accusations) because it made your point seem stronger.

Details were not included because those discussions within the DoD were already reported by numerous news services. Your were expected to know basic news reports or then first ask for details before accusing. I cannot be sure which news services reported that day, since I had listened to Bloomsberg, CBS, and BBC. But later that day, Rumsfeld was asked about those discussions already reported by the press. I never mentioned any of this because you are responsible for knowing basic news reports, or then simply asking for details. We know from news stories that these ongoing discussions included keeping the man at sea, or taking him to another friendly country where torture was legal and routinely used.
Instead, because you were not informed at the time, you now accuse me of leaving "out part of that story because it made [my] point seem stronger."? Nonsense. What I posted was then and is now correct. Your objections are only based on not being informed.
