    Probe This!

    George, Dick... now that you and your all-star cast of mustachioed-villains are shuffling off to your great reward, I (and probably lots of others) are sincerely hoping you get all the richness you so well deserve...

    So I'm proposing that you all receive an all-expenses paid lifetime vacation at Gitmo, that lovely spot of man-made tropical paradise where you and all of your pals will get to spend the rest of your days basking in the tropical atmosphere, revelling in the quiet and solitude, euphoric afternoons spent waterboarding and those other pleasurable tortures, idyllic evenings spent studying the bible-- or whatever you want your one book to be-- and those sensuous, romantic nighttime rendezvous with the guards-- you're just gonna love those nightsticks!

    And the best part is, without Habeas Corpus, the fun never has to stop! (What a brilliant stroke on your part, eh?)

    So don't worry about the rest of us, we'll be doing fine-- without you.
