Ouch! This hurts:
Yes, Obama Is A Phony On TortureWell, the author is Blogger and Harvard PhD Andrew Sullivan.

♠ On the other hand, until someone leaks it, we wouldn't know. Which is not to say it is going on. I believe if it was ongoing, it would have leaked by now.
Sometimes, suppressing a report that actually doesn't exist "makes" that report "exist." This Administration has been particularly adept at this form of smoke and mirrors. Beyond that, the more falsehoods that can be slowly uncovered, the greeter the chance that the populace will not trust the government (we are pretty much there now), and that enables the government to step in and take absolute control "for the good of the Nation."
