Newsweek's Smoking Gun is just smoke and mirrors

I looked at the big story claiming that the administration was authorizing torture. I was unimpressed. The supposedly super-secret memo posted on MSNBC is a draft and comments by Colin Powell, that had nothing to do with Iraq, making the point that terrorists are not entitled to the kind of treatment mandated by the Geneva Conventions. Duh.

I saw Wolfowitz being questioned on this by Dem senators. He noted that Iraq is a signatory to the conventions, while Al Qaeda was not, and the memo was written shortly after 9/11 and didn't deal with Iraq.

I heard that Newsweek ignored the Nicholas Berg atrocity altogether. Who are these people to ask us to trust them for news? This is yellow journalism every bit as despicable as Hearst's warmongering over Cuba.
