What an unfortunate way to have Gambia's name seep into America's
mainstream politics! Not a laughing matter but when others can't help
but laugh at you, what do you do bury ya head?

Dick Cheney Believes There Are Witches in Gambia
The Gambian government rounded up about a thousand people in a massive
witch hunt last week. Literally. They really believed these people
were witches and presented an existential threat to the Gambia.
They made many of the accused drink potions to get them to confess to
being witches. They then dunked a lot of them in that same "dirty
water." Finally, they tortured them to within an inch of their life.
And lo and behold, they confessed. It turns out there are witches in
Gambia!
At least, Dick Cheney must think so, because torture works, right? Or
is it possible that people will say absolutely anything to get you to
stop torturing them, including admitting to being a witch?
The President of Gambia was rumored to have said, "Fighting witches is
a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business. These are evil people. And we're
not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek."
So, I would like to ask all conservatives, neoconservatives and
Republicans who defended the Bush-Cheney regime of torture: If torture
works, are those people in Gambia really witches?
