In a fit of post-victory revenge the US government is fining a human shield for entering Iraq and violating sanctions against the Saddamite regime. 63-year-old retired school-teacher and volunteer busybody Faith Fippinger faces a $10,000 penalty and 12 years in the slammer for interposing her frail self between the helpless Iraqi dictator and the ruthless American invaders. Naturally she is refusing to pay as the money would only go to fuel her country's military arsenal. Dexter would feel a little more comfortable about this prosecution if it were visited upon someone with a higher profile such as Sean Penn or Hans Blix.
