And so it is. It is a "war", the media tells us, but
not when it comes to the treatment of the Al Qaeda
prisoners. They are, after all "not prisoners of war"
since "no official war has been declared."
   It is bizarre beyond imagination, surpassed only by
the fact that the Bush govt has gotten away with it,
and more. The world seems to have been reduced to an
onlooker.
