Filipino "contractors" in Iraq: OK, this is bad...

... so maybe I owe at least one German high school student a teary apology, after hearing about what is essentially hijacked slave labor being used to build the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, being effectively (up until this point) swept under the rug by the State Department's I.G.

And hearing about people dying from formaldehyde exposure in FEMA trailers doesn't boost my patriotism very much.

Not sure what else to say, except, once again, dammit, I voted for Gore (and Kerry.) I know we're not perfect (ahem, what country is?) but who knew how fast we could fall in 6 1/2 years?
