"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

Julia Lesage: Abu Ghraib and Images of Abuse and Torture
A large link-archive of reporting, archives, analysis, etc...:
You have heard, I'm sure, that our fearless preznit has threatened to VETO the bill that is in the senate to condemn torture and make sure that our troops act accordingly? As I am sure you know that this asshole has NEVER vetoed a bill at all. The next person who mentions what a compassionate and great man this is I am going to hurt. Badly. The only veto he wants to use is to ensure that american soldiers act according to internationally accepted norms and conventions. No wonder the international community looks down upon us with disgust and despair.
Sorry was at the Cards-Padres game today and am in a foul mood. The only Pads fan in the stadium...SIGH
