It’s like a mix between Miranda and an old William Buckley-Noam Chomsky Debate
Jo Fish has the latest on how some members of the US Army are conducting operations in Iraq:
“You have the right to remain silent,” one soldier told an uncomprehending detainee in English. “Anything you say will result in a punch in the face.”

I’ve seen an old Buckley-Chomsky debate, but I don’t recall any punching.

Buckley said to Gore Vidal, “Listen you queer, stop calling me a Nazi or I’ll bash your goddamned face in.” That was 1968.
“Anything you say will result in a punch in the face.”
Obviously a fan of NYPD Blue & Andy Sipowicz…
