Thread Name: BS: America commits war crimes.
Subject: RE: BS: America commits war crimes.
Steve Norton uses the usual fallacious argument. You are incensed that X has committed a crime. But Y, who may or may not have some association with the victim of X's crime, has also committed a crime. You should pay attention to Y's crime rather than X's crime!

Why, Steve? Why should we be more incensed about one innocent person murdered than another? If Sir jOhn says he is incensed about Margaret Hassan (which of course he is), will you get incensed about this?

I thought not.
