The Rosetta stone to Bush era torture
http://www.lastchancedemocracycafe.com/?p=2272

We’re getting close — so close you can almost smell the stench of the rottenness. To be honest, I had pretty much given up hope for any sort of real justice in response to Bush Administration torture. Sure, a lot of dust was being kicked up, a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth: but actual substantive justice — a judge, a jury an accounting for the crimes committed? It just didn’t seem to be in the cards.

It didn’t seem to be in the cards that is until, just maybe, right now.

What’s changed? Perhaps everything. And, if so, that change has come in two parts.

2. Nice to see someone look past all the hysteria of the pictures to the substance of the matter.
So many at DU are incapable of analysis and run purely on emotion. This article doesn't even tip it's hat to the emotional issues and goes straight to the heart of what's happening.

Much appreciated.
