        \_ So move the goalposts enough and eventually you can claim
           victory and bug the fuck out.  That's not winning.

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

Cynon Valley MP Ann Clwyd said she had thoroughly investigated the pensioner's claims and was satisfied they were true. Her revelation comes after the publication of another shocking picture from inside the Baghdad prison which threatens attempts by Tony Blair and US President George Bush to stem a crisis of confidence in the coalition. Ms Clwyd said the abuse occurred last year in Abu Ghraib prison and at another coalition detention centre after the woman was arrested last July and accused of having links to a former member of the regime, which she strongly denied. Ms Clwyd said, "I have taken the case up with everybody with responsibility and they said that they would look into it. Ms Clwyd became involved because the woman's relatives are British. Members of the family have told Ms Clwyd that two US soldiers had been arrested but she has been unable to confirm this. However Ms Clwyd said the cases now coming to light, while damaging, should not overwhelm the reconstruction efforts of coalition forces.
