I have been reading the press about this torture report the Physicians  
for Human Rights published yesterday.

http://brokenlives.info/   Don't read it if you are squeamish.

It has gotten picked up by the mainstream press and is making some  
headlines.


 ' "After years of disclosures by government investigations, media  
accounts, and reports from human rights organizations, there is no  
longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has  
committed war crimes. The only question is whether those who ordered  
the use of torture will be held to account."   —Maj. General Antonio  
M. Taguba (USA-Ret.), preface to Broken Laws, Broken Lives" '


This is one of the reasons why I can't vote for McCain. Another 4  
years of this.


Interestingly, when I went to the Washington Post this morning to read  
their article.......         http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/18/AR2008061800336.html 
        ..... this article was topped by a banner advert for the  
"Hidden Treasures from the National Museum of Kabul" on display at our  
National Gallery of Art. Irony.
