Oue new A.G.

Whatever else I might say about this turnip is handled rather expertly by this cartoonist.

Okay. I'll say it. I don't get the second panel. Would someone who's smarter and more informed tell me?

The image is one of the more infamous from the Abu Ghirab prison. An Iraqi detaining was forced to stand in that position for over eight hours, after having been told that if he lowered his arms, he would be electrocuted.

Bush's new pick for Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, wrote memos as White House counsel that stated that the Geneva Convention prohibition on torture didn't apply to Iraqi prisoners.

This man is going to be in charge of federal law enforcement.

As amusing as I want the cartoon to be, these days it only confirms my bitter feeling that I have seen the anti-Christ and it is U.S.

TOTALLY reminds me of the controversy over the statue in the town near mine.
