it gets worse
Speaking of people who are the same, the woman I call Spiral goes by Thorn everywhere else. She's a very lucid and incisive writer, which is why I'm pointing you to her coverage of newly-uncovered atrocities at Abu Ghraib that are not getting the requisite media attention. This is sickening stuff; we're talking imprisoned children being raped by soldiers.
The word is horible, but it needs to get out.
