CNN promos "Iraqi Prisoners' *Controversy*"
I know, I'm not supposed to be getting my blood pressure up by watching CNN. But I just saw a promo for tomorrow's "American Morning" love-fest, and the giant graphic at the end promised a discussion on the "Iraqi Prisoners' Controversy."

Controversy? Controversy!?

"No, Wolf, I don't think it's bad for us to torture those infidels."
"Well, gosh, Wolf, perhaps sometimes it's OK to attach electrodes to captives."

What's the controversy? Torture is wrong, and it's a violation of international law to boot. Shame on you, CNN.

1. So now the lap dogs will trivialize the issue
As the pResident said "those brown skinned people"

Does that mean it is OK to treat them this way.

2. Coming up next: The Blame Game.
Let the great trivialization begin.
