So now, in addition to torturing people, my country is using incendiary white phosphorus shells against civillians, even though the 1980 UN Convention on Certain Weapons bans their use against civilians. The US maintains that their use was legal and denies that they were used against civilians.

The current government of my country has no credibility — they lied about WMD, they lied about torture, they lied about the 2000 and 2004 elections, and frankly it doesn’t matter right now if they are lying about WP or not. The real shame of this situtation is that the Bush administration is so full of liars that assuming a lie is a better bet than assuming a truth.

How many more weblog entries will I write in the next three years that are titled with some variation of the word shame?
