Time Magazine: Pro-Death Squad

Too bad there aren't a lot of nuns in Iraq. I hear the rapin' is much more fun when the victims have habits.

A reader writes:

Hey, Joe. How about addressing indications that the Bush Administration has employed the "Salvador" strategy to train death squads to take out militia leaders?

Joe answers:

I certainly hope so. If ever there was an appropriate circumstance for covert action--in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere--it is the effort to find and eliminate terrorists. They really are the enemy, you know.

I'm sure TIME will find someone to avocate for a return of slavery and the abolition of women's sufferage soon.
