Smell the Freedom!
From Juan Cole:
The Kurdistan authorities have sentenced an Austrian citizen of Kurdish extraction to 30 years in prison for publishing criticism on the internet of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Massoud Barzani, accusing the writer of "defaming" Kurdistan. Kamal Sayid Qadir is appealing the decree of a special security court in Irbil, and has gone on a hunger strike. Ah, the joys of liberty in the new Iraq

This news item again suggests the duplicitous Bush strategy of indefinitely detaining enemy combatants, and sanctioning torture, all in the name of winning a war for freedom.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Bush, O'Reilly, et al argue that Juan Cole receive 30 years for pointing out problems in the new "free" Kurdistan.
