There must be something more important to write about than this petty dispute between pundits (the title "ombudsman" notwithstanding). Glenn, you have right on your side, clearly - you made your point in your previous column - what function does this one serve? Your readers all know the so-called liberal media is not liberal. What about some more information on the kid Bob Herbert writes about today in the NYT - surely more important and pressing?
on a side note: do you think a prisoner cares whether he/she is labelled a detainee or a prisoner or a terrorist or an extremist? Do the Taliban care whether military acts against them are part of the war on terror or an overseas contingency operation? Fights over language really only obscure the true fight about the underlying acts or omissions - labels don't help anyone.
