The Capitol Steps
began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the
very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed,
many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your
day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps
are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have
worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62
years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Robert Gates shouldn't have worried. The wheels of justice are finally zipping right along at Guantanamo. With prisoners now voluntarily confessing their guilt left and right, all that fuss over trials, commissions, lawyers, habeus corpus, and torture was so unnecessary. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed voluntarily confessed to, well, just about everything. Australian detainee David Hicks, who had previously alleged mistreatment, not only admitted his guilt but also thanked the US military for its compassion. As long as there are still a few more cases left to be heard, those lucky detainees can continue to enjoy their time on the island.
