> Scale is probably different

I'm not sure this is true. Could you please post the numbers at guantanamo and the numbers imprisoned at Xinjiang? That would help clarify this point, thanks.

There is about four(!!!) orders of magnitude difference.

>numbers at guantanamo

Hundreds at any one time, under a hundred currently, well less than a thousand peak[1]

>numbers imprisoned at Xinjiang

On the order of millions[2]

If you want to be disingenuous more effectively I suggest you get better and choosing when to ask for citations.

That it was a deliberate disingenuity seemed to have flown far and high over your head. What do you think I was trying to do?
