You are having comprehensions. I was indeed referring to the nature of this article, which is Julian's heinous torture and rendition to the United States. This isn't just 'extradition', any more. The real free world, i.

This is an utter farce of a trial. How any UK or US politician can stand up now, and call for sanctions against Russia or China or Iran .. beggars belief. These are the sorts of charades we have been programmed to despise when we see it i

The destruction of Jewish businesses on Kristallnacht 'made a lot of sense' to many Germans at the time. Are you so sure you want to use this particular point to pivot your argument? There is NO logic to violating the Universal

Humans have known to regulate forest fuels for 1000's of years. This modern stubbornness is hubris based on ignorance of the real technology that has been developed, over tens of thousands of years, in forest management.
