Regrettably omitted

This article points out that Bush may have condoned by executive order the torture of prisoners in Iraq and Cuba, and mentions that many papers "regrettably omitted the story's biggest bombshell". Two things here: how cowed are the newspapers that they are afraid to report that Bush is directly and demonstrably responsible for the torture? He gets away with this shit because we let him, people! It's time to start holding him responsible for the things he does.

Secondly, if this article can point out that the newspapers "regrettably omitted" the real news in the story, why not go further and examine the media's complicity in all of this? It wasn't an accident or an oversight. It was a deliberate choice by cowardly or biased newspaper editors/owners to protect him once again.

HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE. It's the only thing that can stop him.
