Our Nero
In my last OTF, I made a brief reference to a report that torture in Iraq may now be worse then it was under Saddam. But in my haste to compile the entrants before they became lost to the virtual ether, I don't feel that I fully conveyed the cruel irony (if one could call it that) of the situation. While Bush was fighting with Congress over the semantics of what is and is not torture, far less concern was being paid to the unmistakable torture being committed on the streets of Iraq.
Or put another way: While Bush fiddles, Iraq burns.
But then what do you except from man who characterizes the carnage as 'just a comma'?
