Beat or cheat or mistreat you

The New York Times is running an article in tomorrow's edition where they uncover an American interrogation room in Iraq where the US military questioned prisoners in an attempt to find Al Musab al-Zarqawi, the Al Queda operative who settled in Iraq after we invaded. Detainees were spat on, hit with rifle butts, and shot at with paint balls. No word if Johnny Knoxville was involved.

I give this two thumbs up! Rather, two thumbs up but one thumb broken by a rifle butt. I have no problem torturing terrorist detainees if there is reason to believe that they know the whereabouts of other terrorists or the details of future attacks. Or if they look at you funny. Humiliating prisoners for no reason, while entertaining, is a completely different story. But if someone is caught trying to kill civilians or American troops and the military thinks they might know something important, they should be given almost carte blanche. But not in French.

So, to recap:


In other news, I nearly kicked a girl in the face at the gym today. Serves her right.
