There aren't any Americans who have disappeared into night, fog, or the Twilight Zone.

Don't know how I can bring logic into this, since you abandoned it so long ago. Can you even locate a RUMOR about such a thing?

Please don't try that bilge about "no one would talk about it because it's illegal to." Half the news stories in the past thirty years have been from people talking about something it wasn't legal for them to discuss.

Good God, there aren't even news stories from anonymous sources who claim to have been "disappeared." If somebody's cousin got hauled off by the cops and warned to say nothing, how long before some budding Woodward got a call from "Mr. Smith" discussing what happened to his cousin?

There are no "invisible" American prisoners. None. I don't have to prove that to any rational person any more than I have to "prove" that Yankee Stadium is not full of invisible, incorporeal elephants.

This is a completely artificial issue.

        I don't have to. Any more than I have to "prove" there is no life on Mars. That isn't how reason and logic work. - Tom Brosz - 5/17/2004 5:36:56 PM
