Just askin' is all
Kay - I see that the military is backing down over their claim that they had caught Saddam's big, bad bodyguard. Fair enough. But, while watching the news this morning, all the cable channels had night-vision footage of this prisoner (whoever he is) with a bag over his head, as a US soldier adjusted blinfolds, and looked like he was sticking someething up the captives nose (??!!!). Now, didn't Rummy tell us that this is against the Geneva convention (when the Iraqis paraded US POWs). Wasn't he furious that a country would exhibit such a 'disregard for international law'. Is irony lost on the Shrub Cartel. Just asking....

1. Nothing, I repeat Nothing, is beneath this Cabal
They will stoop to any level to get what they want. They are the worst sort of thugs because they have unlimited power.

2. Bush wouldn't know irony...
... if he shit it out on the golf course. The word cannot be found in any White House dictionary. Updated editions forthcoming in 2004.

Cheers.

3. I'm confused . . . MSNBC is claiming they got the bodyguard.
Is that changing?

4. International Law
Doesn't apply to the US according to Bush*, it only applies to other countries when it is convienient for the Bush* Regime and not otherwise.
