When I saw this article on yahoo I wanted to dance. Sunni Arabs becoming involved in the Iraqi political process is that big a deal. To some it means they don't have to endure violence on television; to me, it might mean that I don't have to endure violence in person.
In other news, President Bush and Presidential Candidate McCain have struck a deal on a torture ban. For me, the deal and the potential law officially banning torture means nothing. I don't think interrogators should have tortured as many detainees as they did, but I don't think it should have ever been revealed. I agree with the official ban, but I also think there is nothing wrong with a little clandestine torture of deserving individuals on occasion. Ordinary combatants illegal or otherwise don't need special treatment, but for certain individuals I think we should break out the whips, chains, and Chinese water torture devices. Maybe even call in some of these folks to help out.
