I'm Shocked, Shocked...!!

Great quote from a great article on Salon by Greg Grandin:

from Graham Greene's 1958 novel "Our Man in Havana"

"it is a real danger for everyone when what is shocking changes."
RTWT!!

You know what's funny. I was just talking to C. about this last night ( he saw all the library books I brought home) and I was telling him that I'm "shocked" about all these torture excuses- its not that bad, we need to do it to protect ourselves excuses floating around in the media and "blatantism" about it for lack of a better word. As a person with a Master's in History he is not shocked about it at all. He knows what's happened in the past and here it is again all laid out again in this article. Last summer I read this book Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer which was really quite enlightening as well, that the US government does what its going to do to get its way with other countries. We've already started joking about moving to Ireland if Guiliani wins the election, ... C. better get on the ball and renew his passport!

p.s. I love Claude Raines in this movie. He reminds me so much of my dear friend Armand in San Diego. Same sense of humor!
