Senate report links Bush to detainee homicides; media yawns

While the media fixates on the low-level, ultimately irrelevant crimes of Rod Blagojevich, a Senate report all but declares Bush and Rumsfeld to be war criminals

    Denial is a River In Iraq

    Apparently the media has no idea on how to "sell" the story. When we were marching into Iraq the story was all win win win. Everyone wants to be on the winning side and rooting for the winning team.

    And it turns out that there is no win in Iraq -- just different degrees of losing. So who wants to read about that? Even worse, the they have to say that leadership that prevailed in two elections are evil sonofabitches that YOU (and we) supported! You think corporate-owned media that can be felled with Janet Jackson's nipple has enough courage to run with a story like that?
