An article in The Guardian has been presented as a comic strip.

Click here to see article

This is the first time I've seen serious news presented in this way. I hope these guys win their case.

It looks like Mr. Joe Sacco hates freedom. He's as bad as Osama Bin Laden and Micheal Moore.

Do you mean the title of the article? It's called "Trauma on Loan"

The following page contains a link to the official complaint lodged by the former prisoners: http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/wordpress/2006/01/22/joe-sacco-trauma-on-loan/

Joe Sacco has also written/co-written a few books on Palestine and Bosnia; for anyone out there who happens to like their current affairs dished up in comic strip form.

What you really mean to say is "It looks like Mr Joe Sacco hates freedom to lock up and torture at whim any hapless sandn1ggers and wogs that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
