The first one just says that AI express concern about his case; looking at the laundry list of other organisations who also do I don't really think this supports your claim.
The second and third suggests that AI is damaged because it is trying to stop the US from torturing people. I don't see how this falls out with the MO of AI, but it seems pretty legit to me. I get your point that if you blow up a school you should be punished, but should you also be tortured? I think it's a storm in a teacup trying to discredit AI (not sure why, but it's a lefty organisation so I guess that's enough). Do you really think people don't have the right to fight back when their country is invaded?
