Yes. Facts are, sadly, rarely as important to some people as emoting all over the place. I will say this though, everybody in the foreign policy world, who wasn't a loon, predicted the 'extraordinary rendition' and 'extrajudicial prosecution' stuff was going to create serious backlash and jeopardize the capture and prosecution of actual criminals in the future. What should have been a straightforward arrest and deportation that got little/no attention has turned into a full fledged diplomatic issue and the State Department has now superseded the Secret Service so everything is up in the air now.
