Is the story changing??
I'm watching CNN and their War On Terror segment. It was very a very informative (meaning not the usual spin) segment about the use of torture. They ended the segment with a blanket statement that the broad use of torture only recruits more terrorists. It was like a slap in the face. That's not the usual party line.

I know that it wasn't a full on condemnation of the use of torture but it seemed unusually uhhhh balanced?

OK John Aravosis of Americablog is on. More later.

4. It's changing in the right direction lately, it seems
Tweety, Scarborough, Cafferty and sometimes even Lou Dobbs are seeing the light.

Now CNN is giving accurate stories on the issue of the day without pro-government spin?

Encouraging, to be sure.

3. There's no balance until they call for torturers to be sent to prison
until they die. Orders or no orders.

5. Maybe they've been hearing from so many of us....
Even they know that the game is over.
