He's jealous of the gulags I'm proud of. Compared with Putin's they're a cut above. He's jealous of Guantanamo's 'no pleas', Defying the Supreme Court's legalese. He's jealous of how we treat the Koran In Bagram, Gitmo and Afghanistan. He's jealous of the tortures we inflict With no one strong enough to interdict. He's jealous of the term 'ghost detainees'. Describing anyone who disagrees. But I'm proudest that that evil Russian elf Now's becoming jealous of myself. * The New York Times - 6/5/05 Editorial - "Un-American by Any Name"
