TIME TO ATTACK 'LOST'

John Podhoretz
The Corner

So get this. Tonight's "Lost" revolves around Sayid, the character who was a member of the Iraqi Republican Guard and someone guilt-riddled over his past as a torturer. Tonight we learn, preposterously and offensively, that he became a torturer because he was seduced into it by the U.S. army, which wanted information in 1991 about a downed pilot. "Before the Americans came, I was a soldier," he said. "When they left, I became something else. My name is Sayid, and I am a torturer."

Good God. It takes an American to teach a Saddam-ite Iraqi to torture people. This is Hollywood at its most disgusting.

UPDATE: The Evil American officer says "we're pulling out. So you'll stay in Saddam's employ. Now you got a new skill set you can use. Heh heh heh." Delightful.
