Reports From Bush's Hell

Britt and I are leaving shortly for the country. She's still kind of sick-with that and pre-trip jobs I've just now been able to sit down for a bit and check web news before I go. Nearly the first thing I come to(Atriots) is this little item on the hell bloody dubya's unleashed for women in many parts of Iraq. Along with everything else he's done:
-

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The images in the Basra police file are nauseating: Page after page of women killed in brutal fashion -- some strangled to death, their faces disfigured; others beheaded. All bear signs of torture.

The women are killed, police say, because they failed to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other "rules" that secretive fundamentalist groups want to enforce.

"Fear, fear is always there," says 30-year-old Safana, an artist and university professor. "We don't know who to be afraid of. Maybe it's a friend or a student you teach. There is no break, no security. I don't know who to be afraid of."

With that in mind try to have a great weekend. Gotta go. Where we're going there's no Internet and no computers. Back tomorrow evening.....
