It’s Not Just the Torture - Dig Deeper
There is much gnashing of teeth today in the blogosphere over the release of a Senate report on the genesis and potentially criminal conduct of Bush administration torture policies. But don’t just follow the shiny torture object – look deeper – the most egregious crime was using torture as a tool to establish a false connection between al Qaida and Saddam Hussein.

2. Being discussed everywhere
This is a very big story, and I believe it will force Obama to prosecute war criminals.

4. i think that's what he's waiting for.
public outcry, unavoidable evidence, for it to look like his hand was forced, so that the 20 percenters don't cry foul.

5. Yes, I'll agree
And, gee, if his hand is forced, he can look good after the trials are finished and Cheney and Bush are sentenced to brush cutting at the side of the road.
