Loser

So the Bush Administration and the three "maverick" senators have concluded their little dance and reached a "compromise" on torture. The President won't clear his sinuses on the Geneva Convention and nobody will get busted for the torture that's already occurred in our names. The only bright spot is that Sen. Lindsey Graham's insistence that a defendant has the right to see the evidence used against him or her, though the House may put the kibosh on such a wacky idea.

At Firedoglake, Jane asks This Week's Discussion Question:

I’m hearing frustration from a lot of quarters that people feel this subject is not a "winner" for November and therefore should be abandoned. So I feel the need to ask the question — is this important to you? Is this something you feel like your leaders are morally obligated to take a stand on whether it’s a "winner" or not, and do you think that journalists should be pushing harder on? I honestly want to know.

We at TWDQ HQ are just as disgusted as Jane. We'd like to know, too.
