    Sympathy? His face ought to be printed on our money

    Because he'd red, white and blue clear through -- when they have those fascistic rallies at the beginnings of sports events and every patriotic, obedient American's heart swells at the lyrics to our national anthem ".. home of the free, and land of the brave" his face ought to be plastered, grinning, on every Jumbotron while that "detainee" dressed in trash bags and wired with electrodes is symbolically fried for no crime, kind of like a NASCAR-themed Burning Man.

    The future? Picture a boot stomping on a human face... forever.

    Chuck Graner is out man. Is represents the US better than anyone except possibly George W. Bush, our 43rd President.

    You bought it, you paid for it, you drive it off the lot. Embrace the horror. This is what America has become. The rest of this planet knows it even though the news hasn't quite reached home yet.

    "land / of the / braaaaaave" Bzzzzzzt screams of agony, fade to black.
