Why Obama may soon find virtue in Cheney's vision of power

Trolling for readers with outrageous cover stories is one thing. This cover story by Stuart Taylor Jr. and Evan Thomas is something else. Charles Kaiser at Columbia Journalism Review quotes them and responds:

   The issue of torture is more complicated than it seems. America brought untold shame on itself with the abuses at Abu Ghraib. It’s likely that the take-the-gloves-off attitude of Cheney and his allies filtered down through the ranks, until untrained prison guards with sadistic tendencies were making sport with electric shock.
