Indeed, suppose this is what da Pope and El Duce-Lite talked about in Rome
a week or so ago;

'Man, I know *just* what you mean....a couple of bad guys get a rough ride
from some noble people trying to do the right thing and before ya' know it,
the media are all over your case. Abuse this, torture that, violation of this
freakin' international law or another......<sigh>........sometimes I don't
know why I bother putting the effort in when no one appreciates it. Pass the
nachos will ya Karl?'
