Mike Luckovich has really outdone himself in today's AJC Editorial cartoon which shows an American Flag wearing torturer holding a book on torture etiquette and lecturing an Al Qaida torturer. This POS even named his cartoon Pot to Kettle, equating American abuse at Abu Graib to the murder of 2 soldiers. I don't know how to post pictures directly but this is truly vile, I hope some other FReeper will put it up for you all to see.

I'd rather not give him the benefit of my visit to add to his web count.
The description tells me all I need to know.
Sorry, this cartoon really got me upset. There is a poll under the cartoon asking if you like it or not, right now it is 96% unfavorable, even the typical AJC Liberal reader is disgusted. Comments don't open on it until 8am EST I bet he's going to get some serious flak over it, not that he cares.
I asked the mods to fix your headline. Hope that was OK.
There is a poll on the cartoon at the link (do you like it?).

Still not going to touch it.
This is a publicity ploy by the cartoonist. The more hits he gets, and the more responses he gets - the more likely he'll be able to turn that into more money for him.
If there are ads on that web site, forward the graphic of the cartoon and the link to the advertisers. That'll hurt the artist/author, and probably get him in trouble with the publisher of the web site, if he isn't the publisher.
Excuse my abbreviation, but here's the F-head. Looks like he had his eyebrows done for this pic.
I have been sitting here trying to think of a comment strong enough to express my disgust with this "clever" cartoonist... words fail me.

description: I just saw Mike Luckovich's cartoon posted on Wednesday, June 21, 2006. I'm glad that he finds the torture and killing of American servicemen so funny. You do have the right to reject his submittals, and since you didn't, I can only assume that you did not find anything wrong with it. Cox Communications provides my cable and internet service. Are you associated with this company?

The good thing is that people have responded over 95% that this was not a good editorial cartoon.
Good analogy.
Then, I would direct his attention to Page 17, Paragraph 9, Line 4.
Often, lengthwise, and repeatedly.
