The Abuse Can Continue

The wonderful news out of Washington yesterday was that US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has graciously consented to continue in his post within the new Bush administration, leading the fight to abuse prisoners of war and to generally violate the quaint Geneva Convention.

We need a man like Rumsfeld, who understands all too well that Iraqis and other Arabs are not really human beings, and so not entitled to basic human rights. At the beginning of the war, he informed his subordinates that torture was good policy and would be sanctioned, and they dutifully followed his orders.

Just think of all the fun pictures we'll get to see in the upcoming four years.
