vicarzYou know, when I finished school I was looking forward to having more interesting things to say in LJ - you know, real stories about real people doing real things, not just headlines.
But "Guards probed for naked Iraqi prisoners" is hard to resist! Probe! I think it wasshadow27 who took the time to point out the irony of how if you're caught 'being gay' you're thrown out of the military, yet here we are making prisoners act 'gay?' Ye gods man!
I'm not sure how to feel about this. I'm sorry, but the publicity is kind of filling me with glee. Why? Bush and his crew have been the ire of me and any literate Americans (and our victims) for years now, and even the left-wing is in shock as his crew has surpassed all our worst fears. So now he's getting busted over something he almost couldn't have known about, and while he is the guy at the top it seems unfair to hold him responsible for. It's like a murderer getting jail-time for a murder they didn't commit - it's not justice, but it's close? Of all the horrible things he is responsible for, this is what may finally sink him. So Bush commits all sorts of atrocities himself, but some low-level part-time officers with digital cameras will be his undoing. Right result, wrong reason. Ultimately I'm not comfortable with it. Why can't the US rise up and just learn to tell right from wrong? Why does it take these incidents to turn them against Bush, when his direct actions are all so reprehensible?
Michael Moore: this guy is a chump, the left-wing Rush Limbaugh. He is as liberal with the 'facts' as Rush, and uses just as many illogical emotional appeals. I would never call him a voice of reason, and reason to me trumps any political bias. In any case, he is getting TONS of free press for his release, and now looks like a martyred cause. His movie will almost certainly be released now by someone, and will make a bloody fortune since it's forbidden fruit.
Kerry: anyone else notice that the FBI had a file on him based on his anti-war activity? Isn't it nice that for decades the government has been ready to pounce on political dissidents? Freedom is the freedom to agree with what you are told? Terrorism starts with questioning the people in power?

FINALLY someone who agrees with me among all the idiot liberal sheep that believe he is a god.
