In April 2004, a mere 21 years ago, the country and the world learned of a place called Abu Ghraib and all the images of abuse that came with it.

All Crime is Local
Author: TriSec    Date: 07/19/2025 11:40:32

Good morning.

A couple of curious local stories caught my eye this morning. Our own late Representative Thomas P. "Tip" O'neill remarked long ago that "All Politics Is Local". Seems like all scandals are local, too.
