I'm not going to read the link. That way I can pretend that they found her by having her sleep on a pea.

Art Crawl!!!

Happy Birthday Sophia!

I'm at home with a cold today. I was feeling pretty chipper up until a minute ago. It's amazing how little energy you have when you are actually sick.

Remember that Canadian who was abducted and tortured by the US, only to be proven innocent?

In an embarrassing turnabout, the Department of Justice backed away Wednesday from a denial by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales of responsibility for the treatment of a Canadian who was seized by American authorities in 2002. The man was deported to Syria, where he was imprisoned and beaten.

...

The attorney general’s comments caused puzzlement because they followed front-page news articles of the findings of the Canadian commission. It reported that based on inaccurate information from Canada about Mr. Arar’s supposed terrorist ties, American officials ordered him taken to Syria, an action documented in public records.

On Wednesday, a Justice Department spokesman said Mr. Gonzales had intended to make only a narrow point: that deportations are now handled by the Department of Homeland Security, not the Department of Justice.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Appalling. So he was intending to obfuscate, rather than flat out lie? Whoops.

And a telling little tidbit from the article -

In October 2003, Mr. Arar was released by Syria, where officials found no evidence that he had any connection to terrorism, and returned to Canada.

It occurs to me that he might actually be fortunate that he was in the hands of the freaking Syrians because it seems that the government of this country doesn't tend to connect the words "no connection to terrorism" with "release" anymore. But we are right on top of the word "torture."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

... yeah, because it's pretty clear now that Security trumps Justice every time in this present Administration. Torture 'em all, and then let them rot in Gitmo, until either God sorts them out, or else the current administration is out of office.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Don't you know? Justice IS Security. Cause it's not like Justice is that concerned about the spirit of the law.

So, if he did have boobs, he would sit at home all day and feel himself up? Do you think he would feel erquired to pay himself for this service?
