Seattle Post Intelligencer -
"We have not, to this point, believed that a specific commission rule was necessary, and in fact to some degree would erroneously suggest that torture had actually occurred," Whitman said. "That said, we are taking a look at whether or not issuing a formal instruction ... that bars prosecutors from using this type of evidence is necessary" in order to "eliminate any doubt from people's minds" that the U.N. Convention Against Torture applies to the Guantanamo cases.

Outside Voices: Waldman Weighs In On The Mission Of Media Matters
CBS News -
As it happens, lots of people � including journalists - don�t watch Bill O�Reilly, listen to Rush Limbaugh, or read Ann Coulter, so they have no idea just what kind of bile issues forth from these and other sources every day. One of the most striking imbalances in American media today is the way extremism and hate from the right are tolerated and even lauded, while there is nothing remotely comparable on the left. Take Coulter, who regularly advocates the murder of people with whom she disagrees. Is there anyone on the left who does the same, and is given the media megaphones she gets? Or radio host Michael Savage, who has said immigration is �part of the grand plan, to push homosexuality to cut down on the white race.� Or Limbaugh, who last November actually celebrated on the air when four Christian peace activists, including the recently murdered Tom Fox, were taken hostage in Iraq (�Well, here�s why I like it,� he said. �I like any time a bunch of leftist feel-good hand-wringers are shown reality.�). Reporters treat these figures not as immoral hate-mongers, but as mainstream figures who are worthy of attention.
