He juggles alot of different coverage about the inauguration speech, and subsequent ass-covering, and torture revelations in Iraq. Lots of other good stuff. Usually I'll just quote bits I like or dig up the source articles but there's just too much in there, especially when the different stories are contrasted as they are, for me to chose from.
Two sobering news reports today suggest that while Saddam Hussein's torture chambers may indeed be closed, some Iraqis continued to be abused under new management.
It's a jarring counterpoint to President Bush's second inaugural address, in which he spoke so passionately of the role of the United States in advancing liberty and freedom across the globe.
So maybe now would be a good time for Bush to publicly clarify his views on liberty, and on torture, and on whether they can coexist.
