Breaking: Guilty at Gitmo

Apologies to Drudge, from whom we have shamelessly lifted the alliterative headline. He has now replaced it with the more accurate, but less sexy, “Split Verdict at Gitmo.”

Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden’s driver, was cleared of a conspiracy charge. But he was convicted of “supporting terrorism,” which carries a potential life sentence.

Lat: alliteration, yes, but why are you giving the also-present assonance short shrift?

As a gay asian man, Lat's well known for giving his short shrift to assonance.

Guys in my high school used to get short shrifts in their assonance all the time. It was no big deal.

And so the comments have spun completely away from the story on onto a bad joke about Lat? Cool.
