I admit to laughing out loud

when I read the bit about the puppet show in Time's "expose" on the appalling torture being carried out at Gitmo, especially given that the incident was found under the heading "More Muscular Strategies". Wow, if puppet shows are among the more muscular strategies we are using to defeat terrorism, we're worse off than I thought.

If you really want a chuckle, don't miss Lileks' fisk of the article. But be prepared for the disturbing mental image of a "gang-miming". Shudder. (Via LGF)

Update: Ann Coulter weighs in:

No cold meals, sleep deprivation or uncomfortable positions? Obviously, what we need to do is get the U.S. Army to serve drinks on commercial airlines and get the airlines to start supervising the detainees in Guantanamo.
