Why are these men smiling?

John Coventry, left, smiles holding on to Congressman Tom Udall's butt. Udall, extreme right, appears to enjoy it.

Subj.: Harm to mental heath caused by war.
Rep. Udall,
Given your concerns about mental health of Iraqi vets, would your concern include the mental health of the girl in the picture above? Her father drove a taxi but he died. He was tortured to death by U.S. military personel.
I'd like to meet with you for fifteen minutes to discuss this little girl's loss and it's possible effects on her mental health. Do you think you could find the time to do that with me, Tom? I know its pretty deep for you, Tom. But do you think you could give it a try?
Sincerely,

Doug Doran
