I'm so glad I caught yah. There's a new memo On torture. Come on, Let's go off To the prison. Let's bring a brand new euphemism. How's about we try Enhanced interrogation; And thereby cause Advanced capitulation. It sounds good, It sounds like a plan, Let's ask the scum in legal And see if we can. We can drown them 183 times. If we just Accuse them of some crimes We can bang them off the wall And give their heads a bash. If we give them collars To protect them from whiplash We can make them stand for hours As long as there are medics Call it exercise or even calisthenics We can put them in a box And stick some bugs inside there too That should make them admit to something, Even if it ain't true. The lawyers say With their linguistic invention We can sidestep the quaint Geneva convention. Did you see Condoleezza, Cheney and Rumsfeld? They really love their work, Sadistic evil people, with a twist of berserk. If the prisoners sign a statement that They worked with Sadam in Iraq We can justify our, Glorious pre-emptive attack.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
