24 Apr 2009 - Headlines for April 24, 2009 White House, Senate Dems Oppose Torture Commission Ex-CIA, Gitmo Prisoner Sues US for Torture Over 100 Killed in Iraq Suicide Bombings Iraqi Tally: 87,000 Dead Since 2005 Sri Lanka Rejects Passage for Aid Workers Report: US Prepares for Chrysler Bankruptcy Obama Meets with Credit Card Execs Holocaust Memorial Speakers Back Attacking Iran NY Resident Gets Nearly 6-Year Sentence for Airing Hezbollah Channel Energy Lobbyists Tried to Debunk Global Warming Despite Own Scientists' Findings Canadian Court Orders Khadr Return Activists Conclude Indigenous Climate Summit Arianna Huffington: The way we respond to the revelations about the Bush administration's use of torture will define the kind of country we are. It is a test of our courage and our convictions. So far, the media are not getting high marks. They can't seem to shake their addiction to looking at every issue through the archaic prism of right vs. left. So we get Dan Balz saying that Obama's release of the torture memos "has stirred a major controversy on the right and left" and that those on the left "are demanding that [Obama] acknowledge their point of view." Since when is the need to adhere to the laws that govern us a left-wing "point of view"? Is Thou Shalt Not Kill a "point of view"? Isn't torture one of those things where there really is no legitimate other side?
