ABSTRACT

Despite his little grin, his carefully built common man’s appeal, there is something genuinely evil about George Bush. Consider how he treats his prisoners of war. The pictures from Abu Ghraib prison. It is significant that they have become their photographs, visual reproductions of what they once were, human beings caricatured by outlandish poses into a series of protruding arms and legs from a central core of buttocks. Or lying along the ground like a dog. Or squatting on a stool with electrodes attached to what were its arms, a hood over what was its face.
