Bush authorized torture, but no-one cares?
I suffered through roughly four hours of morning punditry yesterday and heard NOT ONE MENTION of the New York Times story which revealed the existence of a classified Presidential Directive authorizing torture rendition.
The impact of this story is enormous. The Bush administration has pledged in every forum available that they do not condone torture. We all know the truth, but information regarding this directive proves that they are liars, perjurers, and criminals. Say nothing of the fact that they've embarrassed us all.
And now, the mainstream media have become accomplices.
(I want my four hours of life back. Pay up, Russert. The only mention or use of the word "rendition" in this context came from Dave Foley, of all people, on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday night prior to the NY Times breaking the directive story.)

Aaagghh. I hate this TypeKey Authentication crap. It always seems to malfunction on me, so I have to close explorer and then re-open it to post a comment.
I just wanted to mention that 60 Minutes led with the rendition story last night. The Sunday morning talk shows are freakin' useless. They give equal time to GOPig liars, as if it is somehow balanced that way.

Egghead -- I have no idea what's up with TypeKey. I usually just refresh the page and the post box magically appears. As far as the topic -- the press had better start challenging Bush on this. We've generated so much fodder for blow-back in the last four years. It has to end NOW.
