Read This Now - More Torture Documents Coming Soon

Greg Sargent pulls this nugget from the depths of a WaPo piece on Dick Cheney's continued support of torture...

The White House has decided to declassify and release a classified 2004 CIA report about the torture program that is reported to have found no proof that torture foiled any terror plots on American soil — directly contradicting Cheney’s claims. The paper cites “allies” of the White House as a source.

Dem Congressional staffers tell me this report is the “holy grail,” because it is expected to detail torture in unprecedented detail and to cast doubt on the claim that torture works — and its release will almost certainly trigger howls of protest from conservatives. Tellingly, neither the CIA nor the White House knocked down the story in response to my questions, with spokespeople for both declining comment.

This certainly looks to be something to keep an eye on. Will calling Cheney's bluff finally shut him up? I kind of doubt it, but it should be fun to watch.

Yes That Dolphin Is Pink

Technically it's an albino Bottlenose, but this dolphin's coloration is a stunning shade of pink.

Read the article from the Telegraph (UK).

Picking On The Post

Since I woke up this morning it's been getting increasingly gray outside, the radio (NPR) says that it should be around 60 and rainy by this afternoon.

How does the Washington Post decide to start the week off? With this hard hitting piece of photo-journalism as the above the fold lede...


That caption is a bit hard to read in this format (interesting that the photo does not appear in any other form on the WaPo website...) it reads:

The sun is shining on Bobby Migliaccio as he charges home during a kickball game on the Mall. Migliaccio, of Lauerl, plays in a league called NAKID (No, Adult Kickball Isn't Dumb). Yesterday's great weather is likely to continue, with sunny skies lasting for three straight days.

Yeah, and you wonder why I'm picking on the Post again. When you can't get the weather even close to correct, and you make that false bit of information the lede in the paper, despite everything else happening in the world, why should you expect to be taken seriously as a journalistic institution?

Marriage Progress

Maine recently became the fifth state to legalize Gay Marriage and the Nation's Capital, Washington, DC just voted 12-1 to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

If you guessed the lone dissenter was Marion Barry you were correct, if you guessed he would say something fairly crazy you get bonus points.

Jon Stewart will now offer some context...
