What rough beast is justice?

In today's Washington Post, Associated Press President Tom Curley revisits the saga of Bilal Hussein, an AP war photographerswho is awaiting a first court hearing after being detained more than a year ago.

Detained for what, you ask? Don't.

The court is in Iraq, which has a tricky evidentiary code. For instance, the concept of discovery appears to have been left out of the bundle of democratic values exported there post-liberation/occupation.

Let's, like Bush, keep our expectations low.
