This is from a guy whose e-mail address is war_nerd@exile.ru, who writes for "The eXile," a Moscow-based alternative newspaper, from a country that introduced the world to the wonderful KGB.

And look at this tasteless article:

Choose which interim minister will die and win the pool!...
This newspaper, and the morons that run it are .

I agree with Bond about the guy, but it's kind of a lame insult to suggest that he's from Russia. They created the KGB? The KKK originated in the states. Doesn't mean I just throw off anything you yanks say.

Must have not been said in a serious manner though. Stupid me for taking anything from it.

I kind of agree with the guy on some points. What happened in Abu Graib is essentially what military interrogation is intended to be, and what they are trained to do (except for the whole pile o' naked guys part). Hell, the history channel even did a 2 hour special on it and basically went through 90% of what the soldiers did, they are instructed to do and have been instructed to so for years. After seeing it, I changed my whole idea about the scandal.

Well the KGB was a government supported institution while the KKK was privately funded and actually hunted by the government, but I digress.
