Separate, Not Equal

I decided that more news about the war needed a stand-alone post, since photos of abuse and dead soldiers are a little bit more morbid than custard recipes and the Google IPO.

More pictures of the abuses at Abu Ghraib have come out. There isn't much left to say, really, except that I don't think there is any going back. I'm pretty sure America has crossed the line into unforgivable behaviour.

You can't see caskets, but you can see photos of all the dead American soldiers. I get the feeling that the gallery was intended to inspire some patriotic interest in supporting the war, but I think it brings home the reality of nearly a thousand dead soldiers.
