The Allegations Continue

      We all knew there was more-- much, much more-- to come out vis à vis the Abu Ghraib story, but if this information from The Washington Post is even partially true, then matters are far worse than even the pessimists among us dared imagine. One accusation includes the rape of a teenaged boy which will be seen as capital-T Torture, and the Rumsfeld niggling about "abuse" as opposed "torture" will be irrelevant. Ironically enough, the Post has no problems describing in considerable detail the crimes alleged, but still feels the need to censor the word "Fuck" as in "Fuck you."

      It really is hard to believe that things could get much worse for the Americans -- at least in terms of international perception-- than they are now. And yet, something suggests there's even more, even worse, to come. It sends a chill down my spine.
