UPDATE Tuesday 9.19: U.S. Says Photog Linked to Insurgents
Iraqi AP photographer, Bilal Hussein, has been imprisoned in Iraq without charges filed, without a public hearing, and the AP is calling for CLARITY on his incarceration. Seems Bilal took some photos unflattering to the US military--a possible explanation for why an AP employee would be held in such a manner.
His Iraqi citizenship and connections must've seemed a plus until it turned out that--hey!!--he's related to a lot of the insurgents who bedevil us! Another Oops for the Bush administration? Imprison and torture everyone's cousin and their brother and they'll thank ya later. Puh.
Since idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem, I still say: give George a gun and send the coward on over. He'd be a detail of ONE though because no soldier in his/her right mind would depend on him. Ah, phooey--send him anyway, just make sure he's vestless in an armorless truck--Cheney's got some oil that needs transportin'.
