What Goes Around, Comes Around

How many bloggers - especially those of us on the left - predicted that BushCo.'s breaches of the Geneva Conventions and the Conventions on Torture would turn around and bite our soldiers and citizens on the ass? We didn't have to wait too long.

Like all of his past screw-ups, though, Bush never has to suffer the consequences. It's left for someone else. This time it's Paul M. Johnson Jr.

The kidnappers' statement threatened Mr. Johnson with violence like that suffered by Iraqi prisoners held by the American military at Abu Ghraib prison. It referred to him as a Christian "parasite," using an obscure Arabic word made popular by the former spokesman for Saddam Hussein's government.

Who will it be next?
