They have a lot to answer for and no acceptable excuses for their actions. BTW, Todd, the military uses shotguns and probably always has -- for the same reasons the police do.

Or is that just the only gun Wiley can draw. Because I don't think the military has issued such weapons since... Did they ever? And did the torturers wear the Klansman outfit, or make the terrorists wear them? So I go with DD on it being about a Klansman. Is it still an anvil?

I thought the comic referred to him, but the Obama thing works too, I guess?

The strip is indeed heavy handed, in that the Klansman represents the bush administration

The unfunny subject manner is torture.

I would say that this comic is a dig on Obama’s wishy washy response to the subject of torture and what to do with the people who authorized it.
