Amazing number of appalling stories in the last few days. I don’t have
much to say beyond the obvious. (Besides which, my voice has still
only healed to the sound of Tom Waits with his airway blocked by a
thrashing toad.)
Anyhow, here’s some stuff:
Bush’s puppet Iraqi government: torturing detainees.
How many of the 13,000 detainees in Iraq have been convicted of anything? Two percent.
White phosphorus admittedly used by U.S. troops in Iraq as an "incendiary weapon".
Congress takes back $125,000,000 from sick 9/11 workers.
New documents prove Big Oil was part of Cheney’s secretive Energy Task Force. Oil executives and Dick Cheney: all liars. (Like that’s a big shock.)
Supreme Court nominee Alito: proud liar. (Like that’s a big shock, either.)
Anybody who says the whole world thought Iraq had WMDs: liars all along.
I find myself wondering, even after my own explanation: how is it possible Bush still has 36% support?
