News Round-Up

Newsweek reports Rumsfeld maybe rebuked by his own commission on the prison abuse scandal, while Rolling Stone details earlier reports of rape and sodomy at Abu Ghraib. David Brock demands equal air time for liberal group spokesman in a letter to CNN's Ken Tucker. The Bush camp solicits the race of a Arizona Star staffer assigned to photograph Dick Cheney. Meanwhile, someone gets a peek at what the Bush campaign's internal polling may look like. Also, the Niger "yellow cake" claim gets even more complicated. And finally, the Center for American Progress analyzes the many flip-flops of George W. Bush.

UPDATE: Iraqi jail chief says prisoner abuse covered up.

Well, torture is illegal, so it is an issue. But I would agree what makes it worse is that many of these people had no reason to be detained ala Gitmo.
