[lbo-talk] Billmon comments on Diary of an Interrogator

Aside from the scoop -- the best part of this is the bit where he writes:

"Another point is that we can call our being here anything we want, 
but "liberating force" is only a political name. We are an "occupying 
force" in the eyes of the Iraqi people and you cannot tell them 
otherwise because they are not conditioned to play to political spin 
like Americans are. "

Chomsky will take no pleasure in being thus vindicated!

Is it true that the story of Abu Ghraib didn't make the front page of 
any of the major national dailies?
