For a guy living in a hole for several months he wasn't addressed that horribly, i've seen worse at a Phish show...
Vik- before you get to deeply enmeshed in today's TJ carnival sideshow, I think you should interpret it as a badge of honor. I'm sure he's just nursing his wounds from the time or two when you detonated his intellectually bankrupt arguments about finance and economics by arguing circles around him, ocomplete with citations to various journal articles. I wish I had bookmarked that, come to think of it. Sam, I was thinking the same thing.
Guess who's doing the interrogating for the US in Iraq? Ironically, the Syrians, and I know this for a fact, because the company I interned for has people over there (Nasiriyah....soon Mosul) right now. For some reason, I find that funny.
I don't like the fact that we're "outsourcing" our interrogation to the Syrians. Apparantly there's some history of us using the Syrians to torture information out of people since we're signatories of the Geneva Code and Syria isn't. Technically we're abiding by the code, but we're certainly not abiding by the "spirit" of the code. I mean, look at what happened to Maher Arar a few months ago. Frightening. Thanks for the info Tacoma.
I know T_J's ways, I was just saying that putting a "k" instead of a "c" there was not brilliant, it was the most obvious joke he could have made. I'm not offended as a liberal, i'm offended as a comedian.
