Abu Ghraib


Fall is on its way; it was sunny today but there was a definite chill in the air. Went to the beach anyway and did some reading. Bought a GQ magazine, which I don't usually buy - I mean I don't really need to know how to buy a suit or care what Kevin Federline is doing when he's not putting buns in Britney's oven. I guess I just wanted to look a little more manly down at the beach. I do live in the West End of Vancouver you know ...
They did have a good article about Joe Darby, the guy who exposed all of those photos and stories of abuse at Abu Ghraib. I found it pretty interesting that he had been promised anonymity and then all of a sudden Donald Rumsfeld mentioned his name on national television during the congressional hearings. At the time, Darby was sitting in a dining facility in Iraq with 400 other soldiers! Pretty unbelievable. The whole article is online here.
