It doesn't follow from what I was saying though.

Let's say I accept your premise that Red Cross and Crescent organizations have had access and that AI never had access (which could well be the case). It still wouldn't follow that denials of inhumane treatment of prisoners by the American government should be believed. Further, if there is no inhumane treatment and one wishes to dispel any doubts on that point, then one should grant access to whoever has the doubts so as to dispel said doubts.

I was responding to this, prolly should have bolded it, sorry

The unwillingness to allow AI to have access
AI seeks this not to dispel anything but rather to boost fundraising. They could tlak with the Red Cross if they wished to gain knowledge.
