Those stories in The Guardian about the various forms of torture, & the
background all the way back to Viet Nam appall: all we can hope for,
with Dominic, is that some history will eventually represent the rulers
of this time as they deserve, from Saddam thru to Dubya & his gang.
Of course the orders came from above, but those above never go to
trial, at least not in the USA as it now works....

We both know the reason why you called
So stop wastin’ time tryin’ to soften up my fall
I know you wanna sweeten up the taste
But if you don’t mind I’ll just take my sorrow straight
