Harpers (11/05), quoting Amnesty, has a figure of 100 deaths of detainees and 27 confirmed homicides. So the best part of 127 deaths by torture for operation Iraqi freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. That (of course) is not the number of cases of torture.
I've been giving the antiamerican issue some thought after Verne raised it. What I feel is not antiamericanism. I simply feel a deep and abiding anger at the current set of rulers of the US, UK and Australia. I feel they have been dishonest and that they dishonour our countries' best traditions.
