Outrage Over the Publication of Rumsfeld's Christian War

Dear all Important Pundits who think the new torture photos should not be released because doing so would endanger the troops.

I look forward to your expressions of outrage at the publication in GQ of Donald Rumsfeld's cover sheets for the Bush White House, wherein Biblical quotations are used prominently to caption photographs of U.S. troops in combat. Surely, these slides are at least as likely to raise the ire of Muslim peoples in occupied lands as would be more photos of torture victims.

Go to the GQ website and have a look at them. Please do that now.

I look forward to seeing you TV pundits and you Republicans go on and on and on about the safety of the troops. Because, as we all know, the real, actual, no-kidding reason that you didn't want the torture photos released was not to protect Cheney. It was not to influence political discourse on the acceptance of torture. And it was not to promote the unitary executive. No. It was "to protect the troops."

So the publication of these cover sheets created by the former Secretary of Defense for the Bush White House, in which the Department of Defense explicitly equates the war on terror with a Christian war on infidel countries, is sure to give you all just as much reason to express outrage and criticism.

I'll be waiting.

Thank you for your time.
