Human traffic and hypocrisy



President Bush: ``Human trafficking is one of the worst offenses against human dignity. Our nation is determined to fight that crime abroad and at home.’’ July 16, 2004

Chicago Tribune: ``Violations of human-trafficking laws and other abuses by contractors involving possibly thousands of foreign workers on American bases...’’ Iraq war contractors ordered to end abuses: Tribune series detailed undocumented pipeline of foreign workers into Iraq, and abuses perpetrated along the way. By Cam Simpson; Tribune Washington bureau; April 23, 2006

Now read this: ``Disgrace'' by digby.

Pukingly disgusting. The administration of President Bush is setting new 21st Century lowpoints in the vile world history of slavery, so that it can construct it's imperial edifice in SW Asia. I've written about this in one other recent post.

Yuck, ick. I want to take a shower now, and try to remove these horrors which the aloof cruelty President Bush and his minions are bringing the world.
