    Now that our Prez has so openly admitted to his own appetite -- oh, excuse me, our collective need -- for torture, and cleared up our misplaced suspicions about those rumored once-top-secret CIA-op European detention sites,
  • new allegations of casual and habitual abuse at Guantanamo have surfaced this week, but
  • the Pentagon is investigating,
  • and the foxes continue to vigilantly guard the henhouse, assuring us one and all in the name of freedom no blood has been spilled.

    More later this weekend, as time permits...
