Abuse of Prisoners 

Abuse of Prisoners

A story that never completely goes away. Somebody at a high level authorized abuse and/or torture of prisoners both at Guantanamo and in Iraq. Defenders of the war are apparently confident that it can all be justified as a necessity of war--and it was on a small scale, anyway. Is it so clear that that is what Lincoln, Churchill, or Polk would have said? Princess Leia? Gandalf?

Isn't there at least a possibility, somewhere on the horizon, that Democrats could campaign on this issue and make things difficult for Bush in 2007?
