On Torture and Progress in Iraq

From my favorite reporter in Iraq, Michael Yon:

Quote:
26 June 2008

I read Joe Galloway’s columns and often disagree with him. But Joe usually makes points that deserve consideration. Joe is not weak or weak-minded; I’ve told him to his face that he’s a mean old man. But I respect Joe. He has fought in pitched combat side-by-side with our troops. Joe thinks we’re losing the Iraq War and I believe we’re winning. Even though we disagree about Iraq, Joe and I both believe that torture is wrong.
The rest here.

Hmmm, I am curious how this propaganda is funneled to the right wing world. I saw this in several places. The link is actually ok but sorta hard to plow through, what the hell the purpose is really unclear, a sorta apologist's piece about....

Could it be that plutocracy's grip is so strong now, the slaves love their chains?
