KING OF PAIN

THE DARK TRAIL OF TORTURE leads back to Dick Cheney’s White House officea nd the person of newly promoted Chief of Staff David S. Addington, according to Lawrence Wilkerson [AFP] [Froomkin/WaPo] [NPR audio]

Mr. WILKERSON: What happened was that the secretary of Defense, under the cover of the vice president's office, began to create an environment -- and this started from the very beginning when David Addington, the vice president's lawyer, was a staunch advocate of allowing the president in his capacity as commander in chief to deviate from the Geneva Conventions. Regardless of the president having put out this memo, they began to authorize procedures within the armed forces that led to, in my view, what we've seen.

MUCH CLOUDY language and veiled words cannot hide the tortured truth.  Froomkin expresses surprise no one is covering the sickness in the Vice President’s office.  Doesn’t anyone want to know?
