Quote of the Day. No, of the year. Original source unknown.

The reason that the American Revolution created a republic that has done so well for so long, while the French and Russian revolutions degenerated so quickly into tyranny, was that the American Framers didn't try to create a government capable of doing great good in the hands of brilliant and well-intentioned people. Instead, they tried to create a government that couldn't do too much to ruin the country in the hands of a bunch of corrupt morons. And they did a pretty good job of it.

I've seen male rape of a teenaged boy mentioned as something in reference to Abu Ghraib, but what I recall is that the perp was a translator. The impression I got was that the photo(s) was/were still. Here is something I just found from the Guardian in May, quoting a Washington Post story.

Not sure if this is the Washington Post article, it goes into details about some seriously sick and twisted stuff which I don't feel like cutting and pasting.
