>>US 'man on the street' knowledge of international affairs I may not be a "man on the street", but I know what "Aztlan" refers to, and know that anything under that rubric is likely to be a deliberate misrepresentation of the US. That link should be marked NSFW, BTW.

All rights reserved "The Bush administration pledged yesterday to veto legislation banning the torture of prisoners by US troops after an overwhelming and almost unprecedented revolt by loyalist congressmen." telegraph.co.uk this is basically an admission of the ( already well-known ) fact that 'unusual interrogation techniques' have been condoned and supported at the very top ( so much for a 'few bad apples' ) . this veto is also an admission that there's no reputation worth defending anymore. it's disgusting, and one hopes the Senate and the House won't let them get away with it ( a two thirds majority will invalidate the veto ) . the administration that hasn't vetoed a SINGLE pork barrel spending bill sees fit to finally deploy its veto on THIS?
