More from Newsweek on the Iraqi Prison Torture scandal. This article is older (by a couple days) than the Liu one cited yesterday but essential reading nonetheless.
$25 billion more for Iraq, folks. Please believe this is not the end of it either. This is a money Team Bush didn't even wanna ask for until after the election but sh!t is so dire over there right now, they couldn't hold off any longer. (New York Times)
Plus the current troop levels are guaranteed in Iraq until at least 2005 the administration has finally admitted. Please believe that's gonna be a serious under estimate too. (New York Times)
And finally, just a little taste of why you need to f-ck with new new conservative media watchdog site Media Matters: Rush Limbaugh on the torture of Iraqis: U.S. guards were "having a good time" and "blow[ing] some steam off." (full article)
