Congress calls new photos "disturbing" — Page 2

No orion, it was not a dig towards you at all. It was merely an attempt to lighten the heavy discussions that have ensued today.

"What was disturbing was the silence from the rest of the world & the moderate arab quarter re the execution of Mr Berg."

I wasn't going to bring that up, but I do believe you are somewhat correct in that assumption, but that is another topic altogether.

Doesn't it depend on where he's wearing it?

and namo, i heard on bbc the voices of many iraqis who cheered the death and warned that it was just the beginning and that it was time that the americans learned that "they were not the only ones who can kill."

This world is going to hell in a handbasket. That's all I can say about everything going on. Not exactly eloquent, but I am at a loss for words.

Maureen Dowd said it all today: "...George Bush, who swept into office on a cloud of moral umbrage, now has his own sex scandal -- one with far greater implications that titillating cigar jokes..."

"... Should we really be reduced to defending ourselves by saying at least we don't behead people?"

Amen.

How quickly the high-road folks who condemned Kerry's camp for using the prison scandal to play politics overnight appropriated the Berg murder for same. Now, the Bush true believers are using the Berg atrocity -- the butchering of a man on foreign soil because we lead him there, by people who weren't there a year ago -- to justify just about anything else we opt to do.
