Looking back on my handiwork, I am especially pleased with a section that should have been called “Fred Versus the Volcano.” Fred and his girlfriend are casually strolling on the peak of a mountain when she slips and falls into the dormant volcano’s yawning maw. Fred peers wistfully into the lava-redness...
...inconceivable that both the acts of torture themselves and the images thereof—thousands of photographs and hours of video recordings—were the handiwork of a mere nine bad apples operating without the knowledge or blessings of their commanders. Pfc. Lyndie England, the first to be convicted in conjunction with the abuses, testified that she was following the orders of her superiors. The Central Intelligence Agency, responsible for at least one confirmed prisoner death at Abu Ghraib, has yet to have any officer prosecuted in connection with Abu Ghraib.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions has even tried to use the tragedy...

The slow drying of the intonaco gave Michelangelo all the time he needed to correct his shadows without having to use the washes of black pigment and glue size that the critics believe to be his handiwork. And because his retouching was chemically integrated with the plaster, there is no reason to suppose that the solvent AB-57 would remove...
