In another amazing departure from US domestic policy, the US cabinet, in the
person of Donald Rumsfeld, has told the world that rape, murder and the
destruction of key public infrastructure is just part of freedom.

In response to criticism by the world's press that the destruction of
official records and systems and the ransacking of crucial medical equipment
will make it impossible to effectively deliver supplies and a peaceful
environment to Iraqi cities  he says,

"Free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."

He criticises the media for focussing on the negative when their duty is to
celebrate the new exhuberant freedom of the Iraqi people.
