American infidels reopen Saddam's torture chambers, rape rooms
/world

The sickening abuse of Iraqi prisoners will do incalculable damage to American foreign policy no matter how the administration responds. But if president Bush and his senior officials would acknowledge their complicity in playing fast and loose with international law and would pledge to change course, they might begin to find a way out of the mess. Instead, they hope to escape from this scandal without altering or even admitting the improper and illegal policies that lie at its core. It is a vain hope, and Congress should insist on a different response.

- As if. From a WaPo editorial.
