Tortured Silence
Yesterday the Washington Post reported that the Bush administration is attempting to gag terrorism suspects who were held in CIA prisons. Seems the Bushies are worried the suspects will spill the beans about how the Bushies got them to spill the beans. They say that interrogation techniques are a state secret. Someone should remind Cheney.
For that matter, FOX News apparently didn't get the memo either as they had one of their reporters undergo a bit of 'waterboarding'. Then again, I doubt there will be much of a fuss made about it since they are devoting the rest of their programing schedule to the White House campaign.
And this whole issue of the need for secrecy seems rather irrelevant now that it appears that interrogations have become optional. I wonder if the torture is optional too?
