Just another day

Right now, there is a press conference going on with President Bush and King Abdullah II. Bush seems tired and dithery. He has stumbled over every word yet. He is distracted and appears beaten. It's very odd, and has my mind wandering. I can't say as I've heard anything he's said, because I am so busy watching his body language.

I keep thinking about these abuse cases in Iraqi prisons. These SOBs who had to have their fun, who not only went about dehumanizing these people, but then photographed it. At first, I refused to read into it. Refused to side for the Iraqis on this. But this is disgusting.

I want to say I can understand where the cruel streak comes from. Living day to day in Iraq, under those kinds of stresses. I can see where the hatred of a whole people would be borne out of the fear of a few. But I can not understand out and out cruelty. Doing things to people who are there for suspicions, not proven reasons.

Here I am again, on the computer when it is so gorgeous outside. I need to get the hell off of here and and some stuff done, OUTSIDE.
