Todd No Blog

Bad, Todd.

Sorry about the lack of updates this week and last. I have been rather ill. I'm on the mend, but blogging will remain light until this weekend at the least.

I have been following the Abu Ghraib situation somewhat closely. One thing that seems to have escaped all commentators is this: Just what did the prison personnel do in order to get these prisoners to engage in these atrocious acts?

I can't imagine the imprisoned Iraqis committing acts prohibited by Islam by simply asking them to....I can only imagine the sordid types of things our prison personnel did, and or told these men and women to coerce them into acts regarded as anathema to their culture and religion.

It's also heartening to hear Bush and Cheney singing the praises of the woefully inept Donny Rumsfeld.

Cheney calling Rummy the best Defense Secretary ever is odd given that Cheney once held the post. Rummy's held "the position" twice..The first time under Ford.

Cheney will do or say anything. Dick is the worst Veep in memory.

Rummy's a miserable failure as Sec. of Defense, and that's bound to pull a few votes from Bush in November. Everything he has had his hands in has turned out very poorly indeed.

Rummy's a better Sec. of Defense than George Marshall? GTF outa here! No contest.

I'll be back to posting regularly next week. I'm on the mend, but still a bit weak.
