No one from the Bush administration has been held accountable for torture. But the guard from Abu Ghraib prison is still behind bars, and his family wants to know why.

    @maureen

    Oh, huge apologies for accidentally substituting a "C" for a "D" in your handle!

    I must say, though, that I'm fairly shocked. You posted four letters on this thread, and not a single one included anything venomous or derogatory toward Barack Obama. That must be a new record for you! I didn't know you had it in you; it must be the spirit of goodwill of the approaching holidays, I guess. Either that, or you're still wracking your brains in an effort to find an anti-Obama angle to the Graner story.

    Oh, and I don't mind being an eggplant. Purple is a cool color, and aubergine is my favorite French word (although champignon and papillon are tied for a very close second place.) Have fun dropping those suet balls!
