Still Crazy After All Those Colonies

As Americans anxiously await Seymour Hirsch's book about the disgrace at Abu Ghraib, Brits are indulging in a new craze called Striking a Lynndie.

In this warped variant of stealth disco, you strike the cigarette-dangling-from-mouth, finger-points-at-exposed-prisoner-genitalia pose made famous by Pfc. Lynndie England in Abu Ghraib torture photos. As a website devoted to Stealth Lynndie-ing explains, "The image has shocked, sickened and outraged people. But more importantly, it has captured the imagination of young men and women up and down the country who don't give much of a shit about anything."
