To repeat a point made by others, William Calley who was found guilty of involvement in the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam war - where about 400 unarmed civilians were murdered - got three and a half years house arrest.
Most of those involved in torture and murder at Abu Ghraib got off with a slap on the wrist, at best someone got six years.
And Bradley could get 136?
For exposing such war crimes?
America, you is fuckt!
Not much to report on today - though the papers seem overly interested in a proposed "gay retirement village" (I fink it's just being marketed as gay-friendly. EDIT: Apparently it's gay gay gay according to the website. Wonder if it'll ever happen) in France. - here's the yawnsome Independent, The Times, and the Daily Mail.
All use a play on the same HILARIOUS "Only gay in the village" line. [Edit: As did Friday's Sun].
The Mail wonders if it's a "gay ghetto" - a phrase only used by anti-gay right-wing people, straight or gay.
"If there was a gay ghetto we'd all go and live there" - Neil Bartlett.*
* Note to idiots, the great Nelly Banana was being ironic.
