Unforunately, reports such as this no longer come as?a surprise to me. Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk.

Yousef al-Khalid, 9, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, 7, were taken into custody in Pakistan in September, 2003,?when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding.

This administrations good ‘ole American values are on display more and more. The shameful part is 31% of Americans still agree with Bush…and most of the rest of us are sitting on our hands not yet feeling enough outrage to demand that Congress impeach the bastard.
