Gitmo Abuse Claims Discredited

The media is not happy about a report that discredits any suggestion of torture at Guantanamo Bay, but it doesn't matter. Their job is done; after two months of screaming "torture," they achieved their mission of convincing American-haters that we are torturing our detainees. So don't expect a follow-up reporting the truth.

(Not too different from the genesis of the "Bush lied" refrain, which started when Joe Wilson came back from his trip to Niger. For several weeks he was revered by the media and splashed across the headlines. When the Select Intelligence Committee confirmed that Wilson lied about his mission and findings and that the Administration's original claims were still supported, the media decided to drop the story.)
