Further, regime change is not recognized by the international legal community as a justification to invade another country. Now I full well realize we're in bizarro world and international opinion matters not to this administration, but that first problem is not going away.

Good. Great. Get your big megaphone out and make sure everybody knows that. Keep on making the point that American soldiers abusing enemy combatants is really not so bad... it's just talking about it that's the crime. See where that gets you.

I'll be over here watching Mr. Bush's ratings sink like a stone.
