My report that I was wrong was premature. Reported this morning that PFC Jessica Lynch had NO bullet wounds, but sustained two broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and a fractured spine WHILE IN CUSTODY. She was operated on for her broken spine. An Iraqi told the Marines where she was because he "couldn't bear" to see her being beaten while he was visiting his wife in the same hospital. He (identified only as Mohammed), his wife and family are being protected in an area of Southern Iraq. Why do you support such brutal people? They're really big tough guys, aren't they? Beating up a nineteen year old woman. What heroes for Islam, they are.

Re: Interesting that the opera version of 'A Handmaid's Tale' based on her novel about an America overrun by Christian Fundamentalists, is opening in London this week. Timely and I'm sure it will open in New York fairly soon. It premiered in Denmark 3 years ago. Art will set us free? Err... actually, what you're talking about lies "beyond my cultural horizon"... A Handmaid's Tale?!? Remember, I live in Brussels and I don't know much about North American writers. Gus
