My cousin Alice in Colorado tells me that there hasn't been much
reaction to the prison photos in the states - they were buried on page
23 or something, and most of her neighbours feel that while what was
done wasn't really right, still it serves the dam Irakis right for
bombing the twin towers.

Is she exaggerating?

Is Alice a dittohead?


I said that her neighbours felt this, not that she did.

Well, she must be looking at some pretty strange journalism, because
this has been the biggest story in the US for two weeks.


And Congress won't drop it either. It's getting worse and worse--
apparently, some of this stuff is just SOP-- written into the Rules of
Engagement by Nasty Sanchez. With a stroke of his pen, he does away with
the Geneva Convention. Rumsfeld says this is OK, and not against the
Convention, because they bounced it off Pentagon Lawyers!

Damn-- not even the Nixon Administration did whatever the hell they wanted
to do. These guys don't even make a pretense toward caring what people
think of them.
