gitmo vs. michelle fung's hole










Michelle Fung is, of course, the CBC reporter who was recently kidnapped near Kabul. Listening to her describe the four weeks she spent in captivity in what she insists on calling a "hole," I couldn't help but think, I'd rather be there than gitmo...

It's not that I don't think Michelle Fung suffered, or that her captivity was easy, but it sure sounds better that the stories I've heard out of the US "non-prison" down in Cuba. If the so-called terrorists are treating prisoners better than the so-called liberators, does that make irony obsolete?

reluctant author survives by writing?
I'm going to try it, at any rate. November project: The Iron Noder Challenge

I've tried not writing through the darkest month of the year a few times, and it hasn't works too well, so now I'm going to try to opposite.
