Let's see how fast this changes now that Cheney's stepped all over it saying choking prisoners by pouring water down their throats is not torturing them. He insists on the euphemism, "enhanced interrogation," building on the already awful modality of putting prisoners in cold rooms, keeping them awake, dousing them in cold water, making them stand for hours, etc. etc. physical punishments that the CIA meted out.
I'll check back.
Still Obama. Candy Crowley called it "enhanced torture techniques" just now. Good for you, Candy.
12:20 pm and Cheney now pushes his head above the fold, under the headline, "Dueling speeches . . ."
