Sick and outraged Jane

Stayed home from work with a sore throat yesterday. I thought I might be getting strep again, but now I think it's just allergies. I hate being home, with no internet access and no idea what's going on in the outside world! I slept a lot of the morning, then spent the afternoon drinking tea and reading Time magazine's article about Haditha and getting outraged that our government forced these good men into a situation where they completely lost their moral balance. I mean, so much attention is focused on the "costs" of the war in Iraq - the actual dollar costs and the lives lost. But what about the soldiers who survive and have to live with the fact that they committed atrocities like Abu Ghraib or Haditha?!?
