Rummy gets legal advice



Donald Rumsfeld would dearly love to show us the rest of the Iraq prisoner photos. But, you know, the lawyers told him he shouldn't. Those darned lawyers!



Did those lawyers have any sort of opinion about the detainees in Guantanamo? Or about the pictures of dead or captured Iraq soldiers at the beginning of the war? Or about the pictures of Saddam Hussien having his gums examined? Perhaps they have some opinion about torturing prisoners in the first place? Or, perhaps about the unilateral invasion of a sovereign nation? Did the lawyers have anything to say about any of that, Rummy, you unbelievable ass? I'm sure you realize your resignation would make common Iraqis hate America just a little less, as if you were showing some contrition about the torture, but that would involve sacrifice, wouldn't it? Sacrifice is something you make your soldiers do, not something you'd ever consider.



I don't write much about the Iraq occupation any more, because, honestly, who can keep up with the disingenuity and bullheadedness and pure blindness of the Shrub administration?
