Torture Backlash

9:48 pm EST February 21st, 2008 | Republicans | 4 Comments

The Republican legacy.

The Bush administration is bracing for a diplomatic backlash after conceding it used British territory to transport suspected terrorists on secret rendition flights despite repeated earlier assurances the U.S. had not.

U.S. officials have sought to quell the fallout by apologizing to Britain for what they said was an “administrative error.” The admission, however, may reopen a bitter debate between the United States and its allies over how the fight against terrorism should be conducted and compromise future cooperation.

    “Administrative error.” Is that what the kids are calling it now?
