 Posted by Aron on March 15 2006 (Wednesday) : 11:34 PMI had to work very late tonight, so no time to write part 2 of the Amalek piece (something tells me it might even be three parts). I'll try to get to it tomorrow. Meanwhile here is an article by Nat Hentoff about Gitmo. I remember Hentoff from when I was a kid, as being a gutsy journalist! He must be ancient by now, but he still packs a punch. They don't make 'em that way anymore. "What has newly inflamed human rights critics of Guantánamo's treatment of its prisoners—whom Donald Rumsfeld has described as "terrorists" and "the worst of the worst" of the suspected terrorists we have captured—are confirmed reports of the force-feeding of desperate prisoners, held for four years with no end in sight. At one point, 130 had refused food, but that number is now down to four because of the methods used to prevent one or more of the resisters from dying, thereby further shaming the United States." < | >

I feel no concern from it. But should I suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul" -Thomas Paine | |
