Iraqi Ambush

Frighting video from a Halliburton truck driver who was ambushed.  It seems like the common problem is that no one knows where to go.  They turned down a dead-end street.  Probably a common mistake.  This is the same way that Jessica Lynch was injuried and captured.

Yep, we can torture

In a move that just makes me ill the Senate has approved a bill that allows torture.  I just can't beleive it.  I thought that we were the good guys.  I thought we wore the white hats.  Obviously, I was wrong.  We will do anything in the name of "security."  Although the bill outlaws torture it gives the president the right to use "aggressive techniques" which is a euphemism for torture.  The bill gives the president the power to decide what's appropriate and what is not.
