who elected pol pot president?
LI has always hated the comparison between Hitler and Bush. It's ridiculous.
With his success in legalizing torture, Bush is much more like Pol Pot.
Here's a painting by Cambodian artist Vann Noth, which we copped from Andy Brouwer's site. Inspired by CT's site, which links to David Corn's site, showing what water torture is. Good idea.
We live in a rogue state. We need to take it back. Bush is comfortable taking this country, which, with all its faults, kept lynching illegal for two hundred fifty years, and bringing it into the moral orbit of Idi Amin's Uganda, Pol Pot's Kampuchea, apartheid South Africa. Oh, what have you. I used to be against impeaching Bush, but now I am for something different -- a war crimes tribunal. It worked for Milosovic.
I need to find some other water torture pics suitable for putting up on my side bar. This, by the way, is an anti-torture site.
