Ego-Tripping at the Gates of Hell

Writes Andrew Sullivan:

    This blog broke the story of more Geneva Convention violations recently: the posting of mutilated and dead Iraqis photographed by U.S. soldiers on a website also devoted to porn. Now, there’s an investigation. No other blog, to my knowledge, followed up.

Well, I guess you can’t call it a follow-up, since this blog addressed the corpse porn matter a month before Sullivan (and gave credit to Helena Cobban for breaking it), but hey, we don’t want any props. We would, however, like to know how the sanctimonious Sullivan, who calls antiwar protesters “fascists,” thought his little pet invasion would turn out any other way. In fact, it seems to us that Sullivan’s show of outrage over nowthatsfuckedup.com might be just the teensiest bit motivated by a desire to hide the evidence of what his war of liberation has wrought. After all, Andrew, wouldn’t those “hajis” be just as dead and dismembered if their photos weren’t posted on that site? What are you afraid of? That what’s left of pro-war America might see those photos and come to its moral senses?

UPDATE: I see that Andrew Sullivan is still prattling on about the porn site. He wants the soldiers involved prosecuted for Geneva Conventions violations – for disseminating the photos, of course. Bad for the war effort, you know.

I hope someday to take a deep drag of the magical air Sullivan and his brethren enjoy atop Mt. Olympus, to send the mortals off to do my bidding then strike the stupid brutes down when they fail me. And never miss a wink.
