Today's Confessional

This is the second Gitmo confession story in the last week. Any bets that:


1. The redacted texts have been doctored to give a false impression.

2. The confessions aren't worth shit (tortured men will say anything).

3. Most of the redacted bits of these confessions are old and have only now been released for political reasons.

4. The reason they have been recently released is to send the not-so-subtle message that without AG Gonzalez being willing to look the other way on torture, Habeas Corpus and the Geneva Conventions, these confessions would not have happened.

I must confess that I never cease to be amazed at the Bush administration's well-oiled agitprop machine.
