Los Desaparecidos:

If Bill Clinton was our first black Presdient, then is it rapidly becoming clear that George W. Bush is our first Argentine. I have two kids, five and two. How do I explain this to them? How do I reconcile my hope that they are one day smart enough to ask "Dad, what did you do about it" with the fact that I don't have an answer? I'm starting to think I know how the Good Germans felt.

    Well, I don't know what you're doing, but T is brushing up on his Mandarin so that he, for one, can welcome our new Chinese overlords.

    I recommend Mark Bowden's article on the subject.

    The widespread application of torture against random innocents in Iraq makes it highly difficult to support any torture related policy
