If anything, this headline clarifies why Bill Keller left me chained to a bedpost in Chelsea last week

Appearing in the August 4, 2004 edition of the New York Times, as part of their sly, witty, and oh-so-blunt coverage of the trial of the soldiers responsible for the abuse of Iraqis held at Abu Ghraib prison last year:
“Woman With Leash Appears in Court on Abu Ghraib Abuse Charges”
Couldn’t they have phrased this in some other fashion? Really, you know, just bump around a few clauses….it’s that simple.
