3/24/2003:   Michael Moore just had to go on a rant at the Grammies about our "fictitious President" and the "fictitious reasons" for the war. Now, I'm not saying he's wrong -- he's right, and he's a darned smart guy, so don't even pretend you'd last two seconds in a debate with this guy -- but was the Grammies the place for his rhetoric?

Doesn't matter. It's his right to voice his opinion.

And that's what makes this country great. Now, I love Steve Martin, and I cracked up at his follow-up line about the touching scene backstage where the Teamsters helped Moore into his trunk, but Steve, Michael is right.

Actually, I didn't enjoy his rant or his timing, right or not. We're in the war, and it's clear that, at least at this early point in the war, no one wants to hear Moore get booed off the stage for his beliefs. It serves no purpose. No one is going to be convinced based on his ballsy assertion that we shouldn't be in Iraq. All I want to focus on right now is getting the job done, and I firmly believe that most people, even those that are opposed to the war, feel the same way. Saddam is a Bad Man, and whether the war is legal or not, fully justified or partially drummed up, I want our guys to kick ass, take names, and get the hell out, double time. The heroic swell that everyone felt upon hearing the words "Let's Roll" when Todd Beamer led the other passengers of the United flight against the hijackers is what I feel now watching our men and women going in against Saddam Hussein. They are taking prisoners with respect and regard for their humanity, they are avoiding civilian casualties almost to a fault, and they are trying their best to respect the rules of war on the battlefield. Meanwhile the Iraqis troops have been instructed to defend Baghdad by any means necessary. It's sickening. And with that as the backdrop, Mr. Moore's comments were not particularly welcome. They were no less correct, but the point is moot.

The treatment our POWs are getting at the hands of the Iraqis is not surprising at all. And now that we're closing in on Baghdad, things are only going to get worse. Much worse. I've been saying it all along, and the information I collected prior to the beginning of the war is proving correct, but that's a bitter pat on the back. What I see on the TV makes me sick and tremendously sad, but above all it makes me angry. Showing the female POW being questioned, the darting eyes, the abject fear on her face, makes me seriously angry.

Boys, just get the job done.

But don't expect me to let up on the President. He sucks, and I'm going to keep on documenting how badly he sucks. Get used to it.

3/24/2003:   And one other thing about the Grammies that just frikkin' irks me to no end: Should Roman Polanski, a fugitive from justice since he fled from the country after being accused of statutory rape, be honored with an award for his movies?

HELL NO!

Hey, Roman! Be a man! Come back, get a decent lawyer, face the charges. Hey, if OJ can get off for murder, you can get off for getting off.... uh... you know what I mean...

Look, it just comes down to this: if someone is a fugitive from American justice, they should not be honored by any American organization. Period. Anything else is just a mockery of our court system.

3/24/2003:   My wife got a Porsche this weekend. I got smooches. 'Nuff said.

3/21/2003:   My wife is a died-in-the-wool Republican, thinks George W. Bush walks on water, and that I'm a hard-headed liberal.

(For the record, I'm not hard-headed, I just get my facts straight and stick by them, and I'm not liberal, conservative, or any other label, I just think that every human being has a responsibility to leave the world a better place than when they entered it.)

Honey, sweetness, love of my life, please do *not* read this site. I *really* don't want to get into another argument about politics with you. You get very irritated, you know in advance I'm going to stick by my guns, and I end up with no hugs and smooches.

Oh, the sacrifices I make to exercise my First Amendment rights....

3/19/2003 12:33pm   Today the Senate passed Senator Barbara Boxer's amendment to the federal budget measure to strip out a clause that would have allowed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska.

Barbara Boxer is my hero. She will have my vote for any office she ever decides to pursue.

Let's always remember that Mrs. Boxer was on the side of the generations to come. And also never forget that the following people could really not care less what natural resources are left for our grandchildren: John Breaux and Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, and Zell Miller, D-Georgia. All five had voted in favor of drilling last year as well. Jerks. Might as well switch to the Republican side of the fence.

Hey George! Tell yer oil buddies to kiss my butt! They can't have Alaska! Yee-haw, pal!

3/18/2003 11:46am   Here we stand on the eve of war.

I've been attempting to explain the concept of war to my children since before September 11th. The WTC tragedy made it so much clearer. Evil people start the fight, good people end it. Black and white, good and evil. Simple.

Then Georgie got drunk on his success. "The gun is cocked," said the TV commentator last night, "and now President Bush has only to pull the trigger." George doesn't want to wait until someone else throws the first blow. He doesn't want to wait until the only legitimate international power, the United Nations, gives the ok to remove Saddam. He's not worried about being right or wrong. He's far more interested in looking strong and invalidating the U.N.

Thanks for making the lessons I've been teaching my children so difficult. "Well, kids, I guess sometimes the good guy gets tired of being good and just wants to kick someone around."

I'm sure the police would like to ignore the court system and search people's homes without warrants. Fortunately, there's more police to arrest those police. Up until now there hasn't been a body responsible for bringing outlaw leaders to justice, but now there is: The International Crimes Court (ICC). And George has been fighting its inception tooth and nail, obviously because George doesn't want to be tried for the crimes he's about to commit. See, folks, George isn't stupid -- I mean, not entirely stupid. He knows that what he's doing is lawless. He needs the equivalent of a warrant to legally go into Iraq, but he doesn't want to sit around and wait. He doesn't want to be right. He has confused patience with weakness.

I'm not worried about us beating Iraq. Of course we will. I'm not worried about Saddam using whatever weapons he has at his disposal. Of course he will. And I have no doubt that this time we'll be looking at some serious casualties. It will be yet another tragedy. And Bush will shed crocodile tears at the funeral of the first person officially slain in battle. He already has speeches written for him. The "We have entered Iraq" speech. The "We are moving closer to Baghdad" speech. The "We are currently bombing the hell out of Baghdad" speech. And the "We will not stop looking for Saddam until we find him" speech.

I'll bet he even has his "Korea Is Next" speech already written for him. I mean, really, you don't expect him to coast on the Iraqi war all the way through 2004, do you? He needs one more really nasty but short war to carry him through the election and to distract the U.S. from how badly he's gutted the U.S. on every single domestic and foreign policy issue.

CNN's web page reads, "Counterterror official says there is a 'certainty' terrorists will 'launch multiple attacks' in conjunction with war in Iraq." Yeah, no kidding. There's a surprise. To be honest, I can't imagine there being much in the way of terrorist attacks inside the U.S. unless the Homeland Security Department allows it to happen in order to strengthen their case. Sow the seeds of fear, in other words. And with the revelation that the government is manufacturing evidence against Iraq to make its case, that would come as no surprise whatsoever. Not since Nixon has the constitutional foundation of the U.S. been so threatened, so weakened by men who think that might makes them right, that having won power means they can wield it any way they want.

George isn't worried about representing the citizens of this country. Hell no. George is busy making history. The kind our children will look back on and be ashamed of.

3/17/2003   It's now 10:38pm, and Bush's speech aired hours ago in which he announced that he was going to give Saddam and his sons 48 hours to clear out. Saddam's representative responded that Bush should step down instead.

Sound advice from both sides.

The thought for the evening: "I don't hate a lot of people. I don't hate easily, but his word is no good, and I think he's a brute." That was George Bush, Sr. talking about Saddam. It could just as easily be anyone that voted against Bush, Jr. Like myself, for instance.

3/17/2003   Bush is due to give a speech tonight telling the U.S. public that the time is ripe for discarding diplomatic solutions and wading into the currents of war.

The U.S., Spain, and the U.K. have announced that no further input from the United Nations is required. We will wage war regardless of what the World leadership has decided is prudent.

Meanwhile, two top CIA leaders have resigned, motivated by the lies the U.S. government is telling the U.S. public. These leaders have reported that the information given to the public is "cooked." And in other news last week, it was discovered that some of the documentation that Bush and his administration handed to Congress and the press regarding attempted Iraqi purchases of uranium from African nations had been falsified, and poorly at that. All of this serves as an embarrassment to Bush, but has not slowed the juggernaut from waging his private war on the man "that tried to kill [his] Daddy."

Administration officials report that the Prez will probably give Saddam 72 hours to get out of Dodge... er... Baghdad... or he's coming in after him... um... sending in the Marines... or something like that....

Yup, the Leader of the World... I mean, our appointed president... has ignored the U.N., the American public, and the protests of freedom and peace loving peoples all over the globe and decided to put the young men and women of the United States of America in harm's way.

And all because.... Well, that is a good question, isn't it? We don't *really* know, do we?

I heard a theory last week that struck a chord. It goes like this. It isn't the oil, and we know that. Iraq produces on ninth of our consumption, but Russia has recently discovered huge reserves and expects to export three times Iraq's output in the next year, and Georgie is about to open Alaska up to his oil buddies, so it's not the oil. And it's not the al Qaeda. At no point has Bush been able to give any hard evidence that Saddam has ever supported al Qaeda. And last but not least, it's not because Saddam is a Bad Man. Yeah, he's the king of murderous lunatics, he gassed people within his borders, kills anyone that gets in his way politically, and invades other countries for reasons all his own, but hell, this kind of crap goes on in Africa on a regular basis and no one blinks. So what? And it's not to fight terrorism. Every sociopolitical expert on the planet is screaming that this will increase terrorism exponentially by creating more hatred for America, by creating people with families torn assunder by an American bomb.

(And by the way, the people Saddam gassed were not "his own people." I keep hearing that phrase and it cracks me up. The Kurds are not Saddam's people. They are refugees, and hated ones at that, chased out of Turkey when they attempted a civil war there. They want their own political party in Baghdad at the very least and their own country at most. Neither sits well with Saddam, so when an uprising looked like it might be in the making, he attacked first, using a hands off, no-friendly-casualty approach. I'm not making excuses for him -- he's a murderer -- but to put the correct spin on it, he didn't "gas his own people". But Bush will keep singing that poison lullaby to the American people until we are lulled into a false sense of righteous indignation.)

So what's the reason we're invading Iraq?

Try this: Bush thinks he's spreading democracy. That's right, we're actually pursuing a noble cause by diluting the power of the Muslim theocracies with pluralism.

Now just take a moment and let that sink in. No, it's ok, I'll wait....

Done? Got it? Doesn't it just sound all noble and rosey? We're just fighting the good fight. Spreading democracy and love wherever we go. The Iraqi people will be so happy to see us, they'll dance in the streets and hold elections where they'll probably elect Gore President, but the new Iraqi Supreme Court appoints Bush instead. It just makes your heart leap for joy, doesn't it? It's up there with the scene in "The Natural" where Robert Redford takes the kid's bat and hits one more scoreboard-exploding home run (God I love that scene!).

Except....

Iraq is peopled by Arabic Muslims. Most of them fall into three different categories of Muslim faith, and none of them like us. Period. They've never had a democratic government, and democracy is a foreign concept to the overwhelming majority of Iraqis. They couldn't even properly describe how the rule of law works. But they know and understand the rule of strength. And I give any government we set up exactly 10 years before it implodes and a coup puts either a political dictator or a religious dictator, a la the Ayatollah of Iran, in power. And then what? Did we spread democracy? Hell no we didn't. We spread hatred for the U.S., and the will to fight us down to the last man.

So when Baghdad is a pile of rubble with an American flag sticking out of it, and you're watching the official planting of said flag on CNN, look at the crowd standing around that ceremony. Look for the faces that aren't smiling. These are your new enemies. They'll be the bombers, the hijackers, the snipers, the plotters, the haters.

They will be George W. Bush's greatest legacy.

3/17/2003   So Natalie Maine, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, announced to a London crowd, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." Ok, well, there ya go. Natalie, I'm sure you are, but announcing it was sure to backfire. Did you consider your career before you made such an announcement? No, you probably didn't. You were firing up the crowd, right? And I'll bet it worked. I'll bet they cheered like crazy. But you had to know that chicken would come home to roost. I feel bad for you, I really do, but you shouldn't have backed down. If you feel that way enough to say it, then stand by it.

"The emotion of the callers telling us about their fathers and sons and brothers who are overseas now and who fought in previous wars was very specific," said Jim Jacobs, president of Jacobs Broadcast Group, which includes WTDR, a station that dropped the Dixie Chicks from it's programming after over 250 calls came in to complain. Well, I'd like to remind those people Natalie was not slamming the troops. I'm sure she feels, as I do, that those men and women are patriots above all others, willing to give their lives for their country. It's the President that's a moron, and throwing away your Dixie Chick CD isn't going to change that.

3/11/2003   The International Crimes Court (ICC) swore in its first round of judges today. The ICC's charter is to try cases involving genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the yet-to-be defined crime of "aggression." Sixty countries signed a treaty to create the ICC. The U.S. signed that treaty in 1998. Eighty-nine countries ratified the court. The ICC has been operating with a skeleton administrative staff since then, and now that the 18 judges have been sworn in, only the selection of a prosecutor remains.

The U.S. was one of the countries that agreed to the need for such a court. And then Bush came along.

Bush wants to throw his weight around as he sees fit. He wants to violate the U.N. accords and go to war with whomever he sees the need to bomb back to the stone age. He doesn't want to ask permission, or even forgiveness. That's for future administrations to deal with. He wants to stomp anyone that annoys him. He wants to call other countries names and then invade them when they get offended. That's how Bush operates.

And you can bet that kind of behaviour wouldn't wash in the International Crimes Court. That would certainly fall under any definition they might come up with for "aggression."

Bush has withdrawn the U.S. signature on the 1998 treaty that created the court. He is hard at work lobbying other countries to sign bilateral agreements to exempt U.S. citizens from prosecution.

In other words, he's setting up international organized crime. He's creating a mafia of sorts. "Hey, you don't rat me out, I won't rat you out, and together we can beat the justice system." Well isn't that special. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about our appointed leader.

Benjamin Ferencz, a war crimes prosecutor for the United States at Nuremberg, is outraged at Bush's position on all this. "The current leadership in the United States seems to have forgotten the lessons we tried to teach the rest of the world," Ferencz has the following quote on his web site that just tickled me pink: "We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations, a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations." The George H. W. Bush, Sr. speaking on January 16th, 1991. Hey, Boy! You betta listen up to ya Daddy!

Guess who else has decided to not be a part of the ICC? IRAQ! And isn't that special? What great company we keep!

Bush doesn't give a crap about keeping U.S. citizens, by and large, out of the ICC's control anymore than he's worried about what natural resources will remain for future generations. Georgie's worried about keeping Georgie's butt out of that court! Wouldn't Slobodon Milosevich get a huge laugh out of seeing Bush and Saddam on the docket for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and aggression! Wow. What a trio they'd make. Oh, but that's right -- Slo is on trial at the Hague, a situation the U.S. fought tooth and nail to set up. Does that make the U.S. as a country a hypocrite? Hmmmmmm....

3/10/2003   Last month, IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei discovered that Iran was constructing a facility to enrich uranium for use in nuclear weapons. According to TIME magazine's news sources, the plant's construction is "extremely advanced" and is geared towards high volume production of fuel and parts. Other sources report that Iran has even gone so far as to test some of the equipment using uranium hexaflouride gas, which would be a blatant violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which Iran is a signatory.

And we're surprised by this? Bush leads the way by trashing numerous treaties (most notably the ABM treaty), and we are aghast when other nations follow suit? Why?

Bush's historic speech (historic in the since that, for centuries to come, historians will be shaking their heads and wondering what the hell he could have been thinking) in which he described Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as an "axis of evil" (very Reaganistic, but with less intelligence) has highly motivated these countries to accelerate their nuclear weapons programs in anticipation of being attacked by the U.S.

And again, who is surprised by this? Not me. I saw this one coming a mile away. Thanks, Georgie. Thanks for sending the entire frikkin' world into a death spiral.

Were these weapons programs already in place? Sure they were, and that was common knowledge. Were they creeping along in secret? You'd have to be criminally niave to think otherwise.

But let me post a scenario. Two gentlemen have wasp nests in their back yard. One puts out a couple of traps, the kind with honey in it to attract and snare wasps. He also puts out some poison to further diminish the number of wasps. On top of that, he puts a tarp over the nest so the wasps can't get out and they start to starve. Then, when the overall danger of the nest is diminished sufficiently, he sprays the nest with poison and, voila, no more wasps, and not a single sting.

His neighbor, on the other hand, gathers a plethora of spray poisons around him, then takes a large stick and beats the hell out of the nest. The wasps swarm out in the millions and begin stinging the hell out of him. He snatches up his spray cans and begins turning his backyard into a Superfund clean up site. The clowd of poison is so dense that, not only does he kill the majority of the wasps, with only a few escaping to sting passersby, but he also poisons himself, requiring an extended stay at the hospital. Does he survive? Depends on so many unpredictable factors.

So who seems smarter to you?

And let's make the scenario more accurate. Let's say there are three wasp nests per yard. The first guy takes them out carefully, one at a time, using a hands off approach. The terminally stupid neighbor begins flailing at them all at the same time with a stick. He's got wasps coming at him from three different directions, but, lo and behold, he's really only got enough spray cans to handle one, maybe two of the nests at a time. I dont' know about you, but I don't hold out too much hope for the survival of the stupid neighbor.

Y'know, we've done just fine with diplomatic solutions, only using might when necessary. What the hell gave the Monkey Faced Frat Boy the mortally stupid idea to pile up the most dangerous nations and start whacking them with a verbal stick? What a moron....

And for those of you that get all frothing at the mouth about how I should support the President, let me tell you something. I support our troops. These guys are doing their job to the best of their ability. They are willing to put their lives on the line to follow the orders of the Commander in Chief. And when they get home, they should be treated like heros. The need to respond to a threat against our lives is a fact of life sometimes, and these guys are the U.S.'s shield against those who would seek to destroy us.

It is not their place to ask why, it is only their place to do or die. Point them in a direction and they are trained to run in that direction with all they've got.

But the Commander in Chief is a warmongering idiot. I don't have to support him when I don't agree with him. I don't have to like his policies or his methods. I don't have to respect him, his office, or anything about him when he puts our nation's men on the front line for something as stupid as keeping his ratings up. And attacking a pinned down, useless, effectless dipstick like Saddam is makes no sense until you consider the ratings issue. Like Hitler and Slobodan, nationalism can be key to obtaining and staying in power. The formula stays the same, but I never thought I'd see it be successful in the U.S. of A. I'm sure (at least for now) that no one could ever do the ethnic cleansing bit here, what with our supposed "Great Melting Pot", but then I also didn't expect us to leap at the chance to run around the world like a rabid dog looking for a fight. I guess I innocently thought that "we" were enlightened, independent thinkers, not a blind and ignorant party-affiliated mass of tax paying lemmings.

Are you?

3/1/2003   First, Bush makes an incredibly stupid speech in which he names North Korea as part of an "axis of evil". This moron is obviously trying to kick start a new cold war. It's a blatant antagonistic move. Then the U.S. cuts off North Korea's heating oil shipments. For those that have forgotten, the last time the U.S. cut off an asian country's heating oil, Japan retaliated with a strike against Pearl Harbor. These folks take freezing to death really seriously.

Ok, so Bush started it. But let's face it, since then, no one has done squat to North Korea, and they have gone ballistic. Kim Jong Il has test fired missiles over Japan and into the ocean. They do that now and then to get attention. But Kim keeps screaming like an hysterical, hormonal pubescent girl about reducing the Korean peninsula to ashes if the U.S. takes the first step towards a preemptive strike. This guy is losing his freaking mind over there. Every day it's another "you touch me and I'll blow us all to hell!" Meanwhile, no on has done a darned thing to this guy.

Now comes the news that N.K. has a missile which goes by the name of the Daepodong-2. With a medium payload it can reach Alaska and Hawaii. Goodbye oil reserves and goodbye to paradise on earth. With a light payload, it could reach the western half of the U.S. Goodbye Microsoft... um... ok, that wouldn't be so bad... And goodbye Silicon Valley. Now that would hurt.

Good thing I've got plenty of duct tape!

Could someone please use some of this duct tape to shut that idiot Kim Jong Il up? What a moron. Hey Kim! Look around! The big bad bully hardly knows you're there. But if you keep threatening the world, he's going to think we'd be better off stomping you out of existance. Once Saddam's gone, what's he going to do with all his toys? That's right, the squeaky wheel gets the nuke. And our Supreme Court appointed President thinks he's the new sheriff in town. More importantly, he thinks his reelection prospects hinge on keeping us in a war somewhere fighting the bad guys. And if you make yourself look like a bad guy.... Look out!

3/5/2003  Steven Downs and his son went to Crossgates Mall to do a little shopping. They stopped off at a t-shirt shop and had two t-shirts made that read "Peace On Earth" on one side and "Give Peace A Chance" on the other. They put these shirts on, then stopped off at the food court to grab a bite to eat.

Security guards approached them and told them they'd have to remove the shirts or leave. Downs refused and was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Well that's what Mr. Downs gets for shopping in Communist China. Doesn't he know that the people in Communist China have no freedom of speech? That expressing political views can get you arrested on a variety of trumped up charges? I mean, really. There's just no excuse. It's not like he was in The United States of America, for crying out loud...

Wait... What's that you say? Crossgates Mall is located in Albany, New York?! What the -?!

The mall's owners stated that the Downs were, "Imposing their views on other customers," and that the mall was, "private property." The rest of their statement read something like, ""The existing rules of conduct at Crossgates Mall strictly prohibit loitering, disorderly or disruptive conduct, harassment, offensive language, fighting or any illegal activity."

Did you read anything in there about prohibiting civil rights to the extent that t-shirts with political messages would be barred? Neither did I, but I'm sure the owners of Crossgates Mall would lean heavily on interpretation. Heavily on interpretation...

So let me get this straight. Any and all t-shirts that someone might consider offensive are barred from Crossgates Mall, right? Really? I can't remember the last time I walked through a mall and didn't see some snot-nosed teenage kid with jacked up hair and the latest rebel-wear bought with his Mommy's credit card at Hot Topics wearing some kind of shirt that said something incredibly offensive. So all we're saying is that I can now violate that kid's civil rights to express his completely immature, uninformed, wannabe cool "opinion" in a public venue by having his whiney butt floated out of the mall inches off the ground by his over sized jeans waist by a jack-booted, neo-Nazi, security guard, thus wiping that smug look off his pimply, pierced and probably fake tattooed face and reaffirming my Alpha Male position only slightly more satisfyingly than peeing in the corners of the mall to mark my territory?

Cool.

This all happened this past Monday. By Wednesday peace demonstrators had descended in mass on the mall, and suddenly the owner remembered some of the U.S. government class taught to him back when Japan was still the bad guy. The mall's owners have dropped the trespassing charges.

Surprise...

I say Shame on the owners of Crossgates Mall in Albany, New York for abusing their position to violate the Downs' First Amendment Rights.

I say Kudos to Steven Downs for refusing to take off his shirt. I'd have done the same, although I'd have probably invited the security guards to try to take it off me. oooooooo yeah........

I say Kudos to the peace demonstrators for reminding the owners of Crossgates Mall that we do not in fact live in Communist China. Or Iraq. Or Iran, or North Korea. Just to name a few. We are in the Grand Ole U. S. of A., long may her Constitution and Bill of Rights stand. No matter how hard Georgie and Donnie try to tear them down...

3/2/2003   Today we caught Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind behind the cowardly attack on the World Trade Center. The Bush administration has indicated that information from this individual could lead to the capture of Osama bin Laden.

Yeah. Right.

So bin Laden turns on CNN, sees his #3 guy on TV (looking, I might add, liked a semi-shaved circus bear -- this dude is *seriously* hairy), and thinks to himself, "Y'know, I think I'll just sit tight right where I am. Surely Khalid won't tell them where I am."

Yeah, that makes sense.

Nope, we'll be going forward with the deaths of thousands of near-defenseless Iraqis because we will *not* be catching bin Laden anytime soon, and Bush needs some way to look like he's still kicking butt and taking names. Nevermind that Saddam poses no real threat to anyone anymore than Fidel Castro does, we're going to take billions of dollars that our nation needs right now with its intense deficit spending and its slashed-to-the-bone federal and state budgets and spend it on deposing a pinned down, ineffective figurehead.

That's makes sense, right?

But to get back to Khalid, I understand that we have methods now for quick and total hair removal. Electrocution will do it. But no, that's too humane. I know! Let's let the survivors of 9/11 use toothpicks to kill him. That's right, let's duct tape him naked to a wall and let them hack at him with toothpicks. It will take a long time, but with thousands of family members of those who died in the WTC hacking at him, he will eventually succumb. No, that's still too humane. If you have some method of torture that's sufficient to punish this animal who masterminded 9/11 and had numerous other plans to kill millions of innocent Americans, including but not limited to blowing up nuclear power plants, dams, and other large commercial buildings, please write me and I'll include them here.

Cruel and unusual is, in this case, what is called for.
