I will be adding Balloon Juice to my links after I finish this post. You will understand why after reading this Greenwald post about the new right-wing whine that "al-Qaeda tortures, too, why did the liberal media hammer home Abu Ghraib but not this?" Greenwald has lots of detailed analysis, but Cole's post, which he links to, sums it up very succinctly. In its entirety:

"It isn’t news because they are terrorists, you fucking simpletons. Yesterday, my cat scratched himself then shit in a box. The media didn’t report that, either."

Would be funny if it wasn't so infuriating.
