It's the War Crimes, stupid

It's the War Crimes, stupid: "Because reporting "wasn't up to the task," the Washingtonpost.com's Dan Froomkin provides some pointers for covering torture. He begins by warning that stories of the White House "caving in" on torture are greatly exaggerated.

Make no mistake about it: the Republican 'rebels' and the White House compromised on just how much torture would be allowed.

According to Froomkin, the compromise is that: 'the Republican senators essentially agreed to look the other way.'"
