MANIFESTO

Item:

The White House and the Democratic leadership in the Senate signaled on Thursday that they would block for now any effort to establish an independent commission to investigate the Bush administration’s approval of harsh interrogation techniques.

Notwithstanding the fact that the prissy Times (like just about all the MSM) won't call torture "torture," do ya think BO could show just a little consistency here? It's not as if the issue didn't make the US look like some banana republic for years.
