THE COST OF LIBERTY

President Bush attended the White House News Photographers Association Awards Dinner last night. One wonders what went through his brain as he watched one of the award winners Andrea Bruce Woodall's photos of an Iraqi woman called Halla who lost her brother and husband in the Iraqi violence surrounding the war. She has now turned to prostitution to support her two sons and more than 30 family members. I wonder if President Bush will be making any speeches about how we have "liberated" women like Halla in the new Iraq?
