I'm sure everybody has heard already, but the newpapers today are full of news about Bush admitting the existence of secret prisons.

Ah, remember those innocent days, just a few months ago, when they were denying these prisons existed? Back when we had honor and faith in the office of the presidency? Oh wait, we never believed him, because Bush is a liar.

Luckily the army at least is instituting rules against torture in their manual dealing with the handling of detainees. I think it's because the army is run by professionals who care about the institution that they have served. Whereas our civilian leadership has never evinced anything but contempt for government, civil rights, and the ideals on which our country was based. But hey, their time is short. I can't wait until we get Conyers in their to beat their asses into line in November. Time for some freaking accountability already.
