Politics Schmolitics
We are a group of friends and acquaintances -- a merry band of pranksters indeed -- who have been arguing about politics on-and-off, then really on, then a little off... since 1998. On email. But that meant literally thousands of emails a year. That was too many. So here's the blog dedicated to carrying on that spirit of political and pop culture argument and dialogue. You might think of us as "schmoliticians", because while we take politics seriously, we try not to take ourselves quite so.

Jesus F*&king Christ! We are becoming that which we profess to fight. And Rumsfeld denied a request from the UN Human Rights Commission to visit GitMo? How can we publish reports on the world's top human rights offenders and advocate sanctions against them when we're just as bad? We're going to be doing damage control from this mess Bush has left us for decades to come! Sickening! Absolutely sickening? Hey Josh, is there any more room over there in Japan?
The Guardian reported today that the EU is going to investigate the claims that there are CIA camps in Eastern European countries. No word on what they'd do if they found them, but all EU nations have had to sign a human rights agreement which ostensibly these camps would seem to violate. As reported in the Guardian, Poland and Romania are the most likely sites for these camps. Poland is already an EU member, but Romania was slated to join in 2007. Go here for the full story.
@Harris: Japan is not the best country in the world to run to if it is torture you are running from. The police here have an almost 100% success rate in solving crimes, because they basically round up the usual suspects and beat a confession out of one of them.
Things are getting better, but I doubt all police brutality has ceased.
@Tracy: Torturing terrorists is not immoral! It is carried out for the love of Freedom! Come on, get with The Programme!
