It says a lot about my opinion of western politics when I see the headline ‘Warlord’ denies torture charges and the first person I think of is Dubya.
I heard last night that five British Muslims who were held at Camp X-Ray are suing the US Govt for £5.5million each. There are various charges – false arrest, torture, breach of their human rights, false imprisonment and so forth.
They reckon they have the proof they need as memorandums apparently allowing this “behaviour” were released to the public a few months ago and all were signed by Donald Rumsfeld. Such a shame Dubya didn’t scrawl his “X” across them.
In another story, Blair unveils new nuisance powers. Am I the only one picturing Blair in a leotard with a bright red cape, showing off these new nuisance powers? See him magically make your tax cash disappear! With a flash of his super-nuisance grin, he unzips Bush’s fly and swallows deep – shafting our country at the same time! Amazing!
Hmm. Or not.
