Does anybody else think it's odd, albeit telling, that for chunks of the corporate press corps, the emphasis surrounding the release of the Bush era torture memos is now centered on the political problems they've created for the Obama administration -- how the memos reflect poorly on the current White House -- and not, y'know, what the memos say about the administration that actually okayed the law breaking in the first place?
The last time I felt this way about opinions from the cable news people and the far-right was during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. And while there are political considerations to everything in politics, this isn't a process story. This shouldn't be treated like just another cable news football postgame show.
