Roundup

Karlo at Swerve Left offers a good round-up of some of the talk around the blogosphere and beyond related to Saddam, Iraq, and our interesting justifications for what we've done.

He also offers this (and yes, I'll sleep better tonight knowing this grandmother is being threatened and tortured - thank you, Mr. Bush!):

In a thrilling demonstration of U.S. intelligence networks working together, the Bush government has nabbed the evil mastermind Cecilia Beaman. Masquerading as a 57-year-old grandmother and principal at Pacific Middle School in Des Moines, this evil terrorist was caught red-handed smuggling a butter-knife aboard a U.S. plane. Terrorist experts speculate that the so-called "Mrs. Beaman" had planned an elaborate scheme by which she would threaten to slice up the crew and pilots "like butter" unless they flew her through the U.S. We can now all rest a little bit easier with Cecilia's name on the Terrorist List. "Mrs. Beaman" is currently being held in Gauntanamo, under heavy questioning. In a related story, a Guantanamo guard who was accused of pissing on her Bible claims that the charge is completely fabricated. In questioning by a military investigator, the guard explained, "I was listening to President Bush's inspiring talk on capturing terrorists. As I listened, I happened to be pissing into the wind. The redhot Cuban wind, whirling around from the El Nino effect and updrafts due to global warming, suddenly twisted around, flinging my piss down the hall and onto terrorist Beaman's Bible."
