First Person Shooter
By Jesse Taylor comes through with one of the best paragraphs I’ve ever read about supporters of the war:
The torture brigade isn’t really concerned about winning the war. They’re playing a videogame in which they don’t realize that they may never run out of bullets, but as long as they keep doing what they’re doing, they’re never going to run out of enemies. The strategy, however, will never change, as they can point to their score and the corpses on the ground and declare that victory is almost around the corner.
Flypaper strategy, indeed.
