American politics is no more absurd than politics anywhere. Honestly. Trust me on this one. No new taxes.
Iraq Jail Contractor Contradicts Generals
Iraq Jail Contractor Contradicts Generals, but of course they are all lying, each lying in a fashion that least incriminates themselves personally. Thus the stories never completely mesh and the U.S. public is left an opportunity to believe the most positive story it can sell itself. No one wants to believe that they come from a family of cruelty, torture, and all other such bad things. Nope! It must have all been a mistake.
Meanwhile the rest of the world sees the pictures and realizes, following common sense, that they are seeing only the tip of the iceberg.
