Protecting themselves from the truth?
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.
They'd better have a damn good explanation for this: Iraqi investigative reporter kidnapped by American troops. [read more reports]
By "they", I of course mean the military. How exactly is this "rescuing the Iraqi people from an oppressive regime"? Not that I was necessarily for the war, but damn! Makes me sad to be an American, that's what it does.
No doubt this will all be pinned on some mid-level flunky, not on higher-ups at the Pentagon or elsewhere.
