Re: "was well below the belt"
Maybe you should spend some time in China telling them you're a muslim Uyghur....
Try the US if you're non-white, not a *cough* "Christian" *cough*, not rich or even happen to have the same name as someone else on the no-fly list.
Oh, and no problem if you're abroad either, that's what extraordinary rendition is for. Best don't go out after dark.
Each country has its dark sides. That does not justify atrocities, but it also makes it kinda hard not to end up in a pot vs kettle situation. However, most importantly, it does not change the legal and facts-based arguments one iota. If my chain of trust starts with the ability to inspect the mechanics and people who I trust have given the OK, that matters. The US can wave its pretend Democracy banner for all it wants, but Cisco has not been inspected in a similar fashion which means bye bye Cisco in my book.
And yes, I want any updates examined in a similar manner, of course.
