This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Rumsfeld visits Iraq

The US Secretary of Defense decided to visit Iraq today to see for himself the conditions at the Abu Ghraib prison where US personnel have been torturing prisoners or, as the US government would prefer us to say, ‘abusing’ them because it sounds just a little better.

Presumably his visit will have been preceded by a clean up operation, perhaps even some new coats of paint and decent meals for the day, so that he’ll be able to report that he found nothing untoward going on at all. No doubt he’ll also be able to talk to a few carefully selected prison staff who will tell him that everything is just hunky dory. Who knows, he might even talk to some people who they tell him are inmates; they might even be inmates though they sure as hell won’t be any of those who’ve been mistreated.

Such a pity that he won’t be able to experience at first hand what it’s like to have to parade around naked while dogs threaten to bite his balls off or to discover for himself how it feels to be part of a pile of naked people.

An apology

Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.

I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
