Dump of Pentagon Paperwork
As if volume alone proves your case (along with the adage, "if you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with bullshit"), the government released a gazillion pages of paperwork they say proves that neither the president nor Secretary of Defensiveness Donald Rumsfeld ordered or condoned torture in Iraq.
My question: are we sure it proves anything except that they cover their tracks? I don't think so, although I've yet to go through the mess, and the press seems happy to just accept the government's statement that "there, it's proven now!"
