Every once in a while you run across a story that just JUMPS right out at you. In this case, the story his hit the major news services:

----------

NAIROBI, Kenya � U.N. investigators have found credible evidence that Congolese rebel troops have killed and eaten pygmies in northeastern Congo, U.N. officials said Wednesday.

The two rebel factions often hire Pygmies to hunt food for them in the forests as they concentrate on fighting to oust the rival rebel Congolese Rally for Democracy-Liberation, or RCD-ML, from mineral-rich areas of Ituri province, a U.N. official familiar with the probe said. If the expert hunters return empty-handed, rebel troops kill and eat them, the official said.

------------

Eat them? EAT THEM?? Good God Almighty!! One would think docking their pay might be sufficient. Now, somewhere, buried deep in that story, there is a Politically GROSSLY INcorrect observation just dying to be made. But I�M not going to make it, and YOU aren�t either! But let�s just keep this all in perspective the next time some Dudley Do-Right starts jumping up and down about the treatment of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Instead of being interrogated, they could be the entr�e.
