(no subject)

Woke up far too early because of animal noises outside (probably raccoons fighting over somebody's garbage). Decided to read New Yorker article about abuses at Abu Ghraib. Saw a few of the famous photos too. I'd read comments about what went on, but had avoided details until this morning. Disturbing? Yeah, that's a bit of an understatement. Amazing how quickly the least vestiges of human decency can be jettisoned.

Maybe it's time to try sleeping again.
