Washington Post helps CIA defend torture

EXTRA! Read all about it in the Washington Post: Torture worked; Cheney and torture practitioners vindicated. It seems coverage of the Bush administration's "war on terror" has been put back on track by the editors of the Washington Post and their "sources" who are determined to highlight the supposed successes of waterboarding and other forms of torture. Frankly, I was wondering when this return to form would happen at the Post. I was surprised to see Post journalists recently lose their grip, so to speak, and fall into the practice of reporting real facts–like the sickening revelations in the long-suppressed CIA Inspector General's report on torture. Apparently they have now been reminded of the biases of the newspaper's top brass, forever justifying the hardnosed "realism" of the Bush administration as it approved brutal and perverse methods for stripping the "bad guys" of their clothes, their dignity, their sense of self–all to protect America.
