In July, the company unveiled a cheeky billboard at New York's Times Square showing a series of bare bums emblazoned with happy faces - until a local church complained that the advertisement was inappropriate, and the offending bottoms were covered. Washlets have spread across the rest of Asia, too.

Congress quickly responded with yet another law - the Military Commissions Act - removing court jurisdiction over all detainee cases, so the only way a detainee can now challenge his imprisonment is before a bare-bones military commission, and then, in a review limited to whether the commission followed its own rules, before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington...
