You know, it's bold stupidity like this that makes me loose all hope in this world.

LONDON (Reuters) - The United States has failed to guard against torture and inhuman behavior since launching its "war on terror" after Sept. 11, 2001, Amnesty International said Wednesday in a report just days before the U.S. election.
The rights group called on President Bush and his Democratic challenger John Kerry to promise to take prompt action to address the issue head on if elected on Nov. 2.
It condemned Bush's response to the 2001 attacks on U.S. cities, saying it had resulted in an "iconography of torture, cruelty and degradation."

Posted by: skywalker at October 27, 2004 05:17 PMIt does....it just hurts in a different way and unfortunately, it's the stupid ones who usually don't see the pain it causes.
As far as the baseball bat thing goes - That gives me a good mental picture. Maybe it could actually knock some sence into them....then again, they're probably too far gone.
I must have missed that story... they use baseball bats for the torture at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo now?

(revised 2001 to promote an "iconography of torture, cruelty and degradation."(see post))
humor: hue-more (n) - A transparent threat to brutally and joyously murder a peaceful human (usually with a blunt object).
Posted by: bennyhill1978 at November 2, 2004 04:38 PMFunny how I know not of this dictionary.
Th term Hue however refers to Hue (pronounced "Way") in Vietnam. It is also a reference to claymore mines.
I've never heard that term before though.
