Logomachy

Cuba mounted a billboard emblazoned with photos of American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners and a swastika overlaid with a "Made in USA" stamp. The billboard faces the U.S. Interest Section's offices. At this office site, there apparently was Christmas decorations including a reference to the 75 dissidents jailed by Castro's government.
Colin Powell: the (U.S.) sign was to show "solidarity with people who are being held and intimidated and whose rights are being denied by the Cuban government... And the Cuban government's response is to...show the world a swastika?... Not wise."
In both counts, the Cubans are doing just what we are doing. We deny the Iraqi's rights and throw them in prison for being against our government. They did the same. America complains about their actions. They did the same. The biggest difference would be that we don't have pictures of them making their prisoners jerk off.


Bush:wrong;war. Newsweek:wrong;riot
The Bush administration is promising a full investigation into Saddam's tabloid picture leak.
Right, just like the Italian agent shooting and Abu Grahyeb, Guantanamo Bay, Iraq's WMD investigations in which no one agreed to the outcomes? Who is to trust the U.S. anymore? Oh yeah, sycophantic Britain.
