Recently it was revealed that the government classifies Gitmo prisoners based on their visibility by the Red Cross: full access, visual access only, or no access. Based on the accounts of these CIA prisoners I think it's pretty clear what happens to the no-access class.

To those of you that seem to think most of the people in secret US prisons are terrorists caught red-handed, you simply have not been paying attention. The record clearly shows that a huge number of these people are innocent. Many were picked up in the confusion after the invasions, or turned in for a bounty. And in any case NONE of them has received a fair trial. Certainly this is a basic human right afforded every person. Ask yourself: how can you trust that justice is being served without evidence, courts, and the rule of law? Only by living in a dream world.

Oh boy howdee am I sick of people bitching about "low" 160Kbps mp3s. Give me a break, do you not see the thousands upon thousands of iPod-jacked gargoyles roaming the streets and riding the trains with those crappy white earbuds in their ears? Most people don't care about sound quality. Even less could tell the difference between a 160Kbps MP3 and an audio CD even if they tried.

I've listened to In Rainbows on my studio monitors and in my Grado headphones, and it sounds wonderful and I've had about 10 hours of excellent listening to my "crappy download". So sod off.

Ever wonder why doctor's don't get sick more often? They wash their hands every 15 minutes. My doctor once told me that the friction (heat) caused by vigorously rubbing one's hands by washing is what kills most of the microbes.

The star for the eye is just scary. In combo with the rearing stance, it really makes the beast look psychotic. Reminds me of a post that I'm sure I saw on BB last year about orphan elephants going berserk and raping rhinos somewhere in Africa... it's all so fitting...
