Uncle Sam Caught in the Act... again

Finally!

After years of stalling, prevaricating, and violating court orders, some brave soul burried deep within the bowles of Uncle Sam's machinery of death must have gotten tired of Sam's support for torture and leaked more pictures of Uncle Sam's savagery to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Of course the craven American media didn't break the story (worried as they are about establishing a timeline for "Birdshot" Cheney), but what could we expect? They've got a job - flaking for Empire - and they do it splendidly!

We'll see whether they decide to pick this story up or it goes down the memory hole like other major stories leaked by the same paper - notably the story broken by Paul McGeough on 17 June 2004 that Sam's puppet Prime Minister at the time, Iyad Alawi:
pulled a pistol and executed as many as six suspected insurgents at a Baghdad police station, just days before Washington handed control of the country to his interim government, according to two people who allege they witnessed the killings.
