WATERBURY -- As early as today, drivers heading east out of Waterbury will be confronted by a billboard image of a bound and exhausted Abu Ghraib prisoner with spittle running down his chin.

A Connecticut-based clergy group opposed to the Iraq war -- Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice -- is sponsoring the billboard, along with a twin billboard unveiled in Stratford on Monday. The message accuses three incumbent Republican members of Congress and Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman of supporting a move by President Bush to legalize torture of terror suspects.

The original article from the Republican-American (Waterbury, Connecticut) No picture of billboard here.

I hope lots of people see these billboards and that it effects the vote for Lieberman. Maybe it will cause more people to stay home rather than vote for a torturer.

Peace,

4. K & R. Although I think the most poignant image from Abu Gharib is the one

where the father is sitting hooded, on the ground behind barbed wire, with his arm around his tiny son.
