Alberto Fernandez (who has been released from Guantanamo following remarks he had made in Arabic on AlJazeera in which he sounded critical of US policies) is back on the air. To prove his loyalty to the Bush administration, he was asked yesterday to argue to Arabic viewers--I kid you not--that the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq is a sign that the US is making progress in Iraq. He concluded his appearance by chanting (in Arabic): "With Spirit, With Blood, I sacrifice myself for you, O Mr. Bush." White House officials were pleased; they sent him a blender.
