1	Kar2oonMan Thu 6/5/2008 6:23p	And the award for the strangest news story of the day goes to..... >>USA TODAY's Alan Gomez reports that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed raised an unusual objection during today's proceedings at Gitmo: the courtroom artists' rendering of his nose.<< snip >>Defense Department spokesman Cdr. Jeffrey Gordon says Mohammed felt his nose was drawn too wide, especially at the base. "He said he wanted his nose to look like the FBI photo," Gordon says, referring to the picture distributed of Mohammed after his capture. Gordon says the artist was not ordered to change the picture, but was given more time to properly depict Mohammed's appearance at the hearing. "It shows the lengths we go to to take their desires into consideration," Gordon said.<< http://blogs.usatoday.com/onde...plo.html I've said it before, and I'll say it again: We live on an odd, odd little planet.
