Alternate
reality

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice helpfully explained it all
for us. The problem is that we are living in an alternative reality.
What we think we know is not true. We have always had enough troops
in Iraq. There are 120,000 trained Iraqi soldiers ready to take over.

Jacabo Timmermann, the Argentine journalist who was tortured during
"the dirty war," said, "When you are being tortured, it doesn't really
matter to you if your torturers are authoritarian or totalitarian."
I doubt it helps any if they're supposed to be bringing democracy,
either. And as Ashcroft said, it isn't productive..."
