"Yeah right. June 30th. Good ol' fake ass June 30th. You know, not a god damn thing's gonna happen on June 30th! You might as well look forward to June 799th. What's gonna happen on June 30th? Oh, transfer of sovereignty to the democracy of Iraq's future. Blah blah blah. Oh really? Shut the fuck up. You know what's happening on June 30th--some dudes in suits are gonna sign some proclamation Iraqis haven't seen, and then some marching band will stomp around in a circle while Ahmad Chalabi pouts like a brat. People act like June 30th is the Iraqi Democracy Rapture. Whatever. You know what it's gonna be like on June 30th? It's gonna be hot and dusty."

that was in Hersh's latest, "The Gray Zone." There was also some talk of the fact that "sexual humiliation" techniques were taught to the u.s. by the u.k., but not much more has been said about that. (was in the Guardian). Also, the claim is that we teach our soldiers how to deal with being POW by conditioning them to the kinds of techniques they might be subjected to.
