Re: Have you met Mr. Straw Man?

modest

Well said! I shall use your example when others ask for more explanation. Thank you.

I would make a little change and would say--If person A says these detaines should be kept in American prisons because international law and American values and law demands it" and person B responds: "You don't think terrorists are dangerous, but they blew up the twin towers on 9-11, so you're wrong and terrorists should not be let into American prisons." That would be a strawman.
