.@ThoughtsonYemen i don't know if we disagree. In my post, I give a minimal def of CVE that covers a wide spectrum of activity 1/2

@will_mccants Think I started off disagreeing, but as I read it closer I found I agreed. That's maybe not reflected well enough in my post.

.@ThoughtsonYemen if I had my way, US would only focus on narrow band of that spectrum: law-abiding or imprisoned supporters 2/2

@will_mccants That's what took me a while to see; it's not about a full descrip of CVE, but rather what domestic US policies on it should be

@ThoughtsonYemen yeah, I'm trying to create a framework for discussion and keeping my own policy recommendations to a minimum

@will_mccants Even from a minimal roundup of CVE literature, it's obvious that a discussion is needed. Off to a good start.

@will_mccants That's more an issue of running out of time to write all I wanted to than not giving him credit for it. 1/2

@will_mccants I agree he covers more; doesn't mean we should do it all in the US, though, which is the point I was trying to make at end 2/2
