[D]id you really expect fairness on the environmental issue? For a swathe of reporters, this is not a matter of empirical reporting it's a matter of faith. Bush cannot be pro-environment because he's Bush.

The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents.
