For eight years, Condoleezza Rice dealt with the Beltway punditry and the access-craving White House press corps. The reception she got, with a handful of exceptions, was fawning. Which leaves her totally [...]

There’s a lot of fretting over whether Obama will do the right thing about Guantanamo, and whether the CIA will barred from using harsh interrogation methods in the GWOT.* Greenwald’s having a snit. Now a Guantanamo judge comes forward, says she barred a trial for one terror suspect because his unkind treatment was torture.

For abuses, not individual soldiers. I’m more inclined to blame al Qaeda for the uncomfortable circumstances in which detainees find themselves. The global jihad/worldwide terror campaign was their idea in the first place. But here’s the news, via NYT. Yeah, it’s meant to be a gotcha:
