6. A screaming kick

Everyone should read that NYTimes piece that's linked to in Maass' article. He wrote it in mid 2005, and I remembered it as an eye-opener back then, but now, in light of everything that's since been revealed...dirty wars, simply dirty filthy war. I wonder how many "detainees" actually were murdered just over the course of Shock and Awe?
