Glenn Greenwald on the ridiculous pro-torture story the Washington Post is pushing now.
Who are the Post’s sources for this full-scale vindication of Dick Cheney’s defense of torture? “Two sources who described the sessions, speaking on the condition of anonymity because much information about detainee confinement remains classified”; “one former senior intelligence official said this [...]

“The average person can take this for 14 seconds,” Marine Sergeant Clay South answered, adding, “He’s going to wiggle, he’s going to scream, he’s going to wish he never did this.”
With a Chicago Fire Department paramedic on hand, Mancow was placed on a 7-foot long table, his legs were [...]
McCain Says Cheney’s Supporting The Spanish Inquisition

I clearly don’t agree with John McCain on practically every issue under the sun, but I’ll say that he’s been pretty consistent in his opposition to torture and in light of Cheney’s torture defense speech today — McCain remains so. And of course it’s worth noting that in this entire debate, Sen. McCain is one [...]

My guess? Speaker Pelosi is, at best, being misleading about what the CIA did and didn’t tell her. In all likelihood? She’s probably lying. But does it really matter?
After 9/11, the Democrats not only lost their marbles the way the rest of us did at the horror, they also had their spines turn to jelly [...]
It Doesn’t Matter If Pelosi Knew

As John notes, whether Nancy Pelosi knew or didn’t know about the Bush administration’s authorization and execution of torture doesn’t matter. Either Pelosi didn’t know or she abdicated her responsibility as a political leader and American by not speaking up and opposing it. Either way, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that the government tortured people.

The ABC News headline to this story is a little misleading. It says that Sec. Clinton “questions” Dick Cheney’s credibility. There isn’t any question in Sec. Clinton’s words what she feels about Cheney’s credibility. She, like the vast majority of Americans, knows he has none.
“Are you in favor of releasing the documents that Dick Cheney [...]
