Insanity - brought to you by Google News

I was traveling yesterday and, while waiting in an airport security line, used my Blackberry to see what was shaking on Google News. The headlines speak for themselves:

US Dismisses Guantanamo Torture Report
US Plays Down Italy's Decision to Withdraw Troops from Iraq
Split Emerges in West's Front Against Iran

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

Senate Votes to Preserve English
Senate Okays Higher Fines for Indecency

All this and surprising levels of apathy about the $70B tax break  Bush signed and the recently revealed NSA domestic spying mess. Sigh.
