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. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
