Choking on chunks of Cokie

I can't get blogger to upload my photos today, sorry.

So anyway, this morning on NPR, Cokie Roberts' "news analysis" made me sick.
No I didn't eat spinach salad.
She kept saying "Detainee Questioning Program" when she meant: torturing prisoners during interrogation.
Cokie's drunk the Koolaide.
Cokie speaks Newspeak.

The report talked about "the ability of the CIA to question suspected terrorists."

NO, the subject is the CIA's ability to use torture techniques and the detainees don't have to be suspected terrorists...

The very next Monday Morning Dose of Propaganda concerned the rioting of "complacent prisoners" over Koran abuse by Gitmo guards. The reporter went into a long (for NPR) descriptive list of the common objects the prisoners had imrrovised into weapons. S-c-a-r-y m-o-v-i-e s-t-u-f-f. Little Suzi and Sam will be drawing weaponry all day in the margins of their notebooks, after hearing that on the drive to school.
Gosh, oh gee, did these bozos never hear of improvised weapons before in American prisons, or are American criminals just not as brilliant as these madrasas educated Islamo-fascists? Talk about Asymetrical Warfare.

However, the accompanying list of taxpayer funded expensive high tech weaponry that the guards used to quell the rebels was sadly missing. I guess the guards must have felt like high tech Keystone cops though, slippin' around on the concotion the prisoners had dumped to slow them down.

Michigan made the story, by the way, with the example of our state of the art prison that will be the model for maximum security in the future. I once had a friend who served as a Michigan prison guard and she complained of urine/feces throwing as well, so maybe we are just building bigger more expensive Max security prisons but the peon guards will still get abused by prisoners. It's a tough life.
The report ended with the comment: In the future, Privileges will have to be Earned at Gitmo.
So now you know.
No ambiguity there.
Dubya himself probably is making the list.
