Media Finally Calls Water Boarding Torture!
Posted by Adam Blickstein

Andrew Sullivan uncovers a major moment for the press:

The victims were handcuffed, bound with duct tape and subjected to various means of torture during interrogations, including "simulated drowning through repeated submerging of victims' heads in water for extended periods of time," the court papers said.

Alas, the article calls water-boarding torture while describing the actions of a drug gang in New York, not the policies of the Bush Administration at Guantanamo. Why the hypocritical rubric?
