Your Tax Dollars At Work

Secretary of State Condi Rice has been explaining patiently to any and all who will listen to her that the United States does not have a policy allowing it to torture detainees held pursuant to our prosecution of the War on Terror.

For example, today after a NATO meeting, the Foreign Minister of Belgium said that Rice assured him and his colleagues "that at no time did the United States agree to inhumane acts or torture, that they have always respected the sovereignty of the states concerned and even if terrorists are not covered by the Geneva Conventions, they have still applied the principles governing those Geneva Conventions."

So, what does the headline say over at National Public Radio?

RICE DEFENDS TORTURE POLICY

Note to NPR:

Why the Republicans never de-funded an outmoded leftish clique like NPR is beyond me.

Imagine the wailing if liberal tax money partially supported Fox News.

Actually, now that I think about it that would be pretty good revenge. And let's make sure Rush Limbaugh gets that Daniel Schorr "commentator" role.
