The rate at which the media is kicking up a sandstorm against criminal investigations and prosecutions for war crimes and torture for the Bush administration is mind boggling. It certainly looks like they don't want it to happen?
Granted that they do so on behalf of Republican issues frequently (the "I think Americans don't want progressive..." meme, the Defense Analysts scandal, etc.). But is there any feeling among others that perhaps the press has irons in this fire? I know my informal monitoring of the torture coverage in the New York Times certainly seems beyond reasonable sometimes in the lack of coverage, and I have some suspicions that there is a larger motive than just throwing cold water on bloggers and leftists, or supporting think tank drumbeats.
