Turkey Insults Amnesty International with Arrests

      The Turkish government made yet another attempt to display its contempt of international decorum by arresting a group of lawyers who were investigating recent government actions regarding Erdogan's moves in response to last year's attempted coup.
      Taner Lilic was detained along with 22 others on suspicion of using encrypted devices allegedly used by followers of Fetullah Gulen, the cleric tied by Erdogan to the failed coup attempt.
     Mr. Kilic is not a member or follower of Mr. Gulen.  Who makes these decisions?  Who else:  Tritip Erdogan, head of the Turks.
