But, Dave, that's real life! Look at Abu Ghraib, where those at the top of
the torture foodchain go scot-free and a few privates get notoriety and jail

I'm not a TV or movie watcher, but you make The Wire sound so hardboiled
and true to life---not just another cop show---that I'll try to watch it if
I can get it cheap enough.
